Step 1
Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, a pinch of salt, and a dash of cinnamon in a shallow bowl until pale and well combined.
Step 2
Slice brioche into 1-inch-thick slices. Dunk each slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides for 2 seconds per side.
Step 3
Heat 1.5 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear soaked brioche 3 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and center stays just set but soft.
Step 5
Slice bananas 1/4-inch thick. Melt remaining 1.5 tbsp butter in the skillet, add bananas and brown sugar, toss for 2 minutes until caramelized.
Step 6
Top toast with caramelized bananas and drizzle with any pan syrup. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
