Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, or a griddle to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together eggs, milk, warm peanut butter, melted butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Melt butter (or bacon grease!) in the skillet or on the griddle.
Place brioche slices, one at a time, into the egg mixture and hold down for 3-4 seconds before flipping to coat the opposite side.
Place bread slices in the skillet/griddle and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bread.
Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve (no longer than about 40 minutes.) Layer banana slices and crumbled bacon on one slice of French toast, then stack another slice on top and repeat. Serve with generous amounts of peanut butter syrup.

Peanut Butter Syrup

Place the peanut butter and maple syrup in a small shallow bowl. Microwave it in 30-second bursts, whisking until well mixed and smooth. (For a thinner consistency, whisk in a little hot water as needed.)
