2 -3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
2 cups melted vanilla ice cream (or any flavor, regular or low fat)
6 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
12 slices challah, cut into thick slices about 3/4-inch wide (or Brioche or other good white bread)

3 bananas, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced

Steps:

Spread melted butter on baking sheet(s) until well coated. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove French toast from refrigerator (bring to room temperature if using a temperature sensitive baking dish such as glass) and remove cover. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, place maple syrup, vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and banana in microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high in 1 minute increments, stirring after each, until bananas are soft, about 3-5 minutes. Serve over French Toast.
