Cuisine: american
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 1 cup milk; 1/2 cup sugar; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups cream cheese; 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips; 1/2 cup medium-diced banana; 1/8 cup orange juice; 1/4 cup sugar; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup water; 3 cinnamon sticks; Butter, as needed; 4 (2-inch thick) pieces challah bread; Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional; Fresh berries, for serving, optional

Directions

Batter:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well until incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Filling:
Fold all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated but not completely smooth.
Syrup:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/3.
French Toast:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large saute pan and then add butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Divide filling between 2 pieces of the bread top with the remaining 2 pieces of bread. Transfer French toast to oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Cut each French toast in half and serve with the cinnamon syrup and, if desired, a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.
