Now I'm the first to admit that most of my experimental concoctions don't always turn out as planned. But... I hit gold with this one my friends. The tangy-tartness of the cream cheese paired with the sweetness of the caramelized bananas and cinnamon french toast made the perfect dish. Enjoy and please leave comments or suggestions!
Caramelized Banana Stuffed French Toast
6 slices french bread
3 large bananas, sliced
2 eggs
3 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp butter
5 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup cream cheese
2 Tbsp oil
First you want to caramelize your bananas. Using a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Next add in the bananas and bring to a rolling boil for 4 minutes, or until the sauce is as thick as you like. The bananas should be cooked, but not turned into mush and you should have a nice syrup. Set this mixture aside while you make the french toast. 
Put a small amount of oil in your pan and set to medium heat. While this is heating, get your french toast mixture ready. Combine eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl. Take one slice of french bread and dip both sides into mixture then place in pan. Repeat with a second piece. Cook until nicely browned on both sides, approximately 3-5 minutes. 
Spoon a small amount of caramel syrup onto serving plate and place one piece of french toast on plate. Smear with about a tablespoon of cream cheese (to taste) and top with second piece of french toast. Top with caramelized bananas and syrup.
Repeat to make two more servings. Enjoy!
