Grill French Toast

- Mix egg, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg together until well combined
- Dip both sides of bread into the egg mixture and place on a lightly oiled griddle or skillet. May also place directly on the grill grates (If putting directly on grate, carefully spray with grill spray or oil grate beforehand with a paper towel and tongs).

Make Bananas Foster
- Cut bananas into slices, and have all ingredients prepped and alongside the grill ready to use.
- Heat skillet over medium heat. Add butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar to the pan.
- Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Stir in banana liqueur.
- Add bananas to the pan. Cook until softened and start to brown lightly. Add pecans if desired
- Pull pan off heat, slowly add the rum
- Cook for about 10 seconds until rum is warmed then ignite with a long match or grill lighter (at the edge of the pan). If for some reason it does not ignite, carefully return the pan to the grill and cook for a minute or two until the alcohol burns off.
- Bananas are finished once the flames go out. Spoon over French toast.
- If desired, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately.
