Brioche French Toast with Caramelized Bananas

1. In large mixing bowl, whisk together half-and-half, eggs, 1 cup sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until well blended.
2. Cut brioche loaves into 1/4-inch thick slices. Submerge bread slices in egg mixture; soak until well saturated.
3. Heat flattop grill or griddle to 350 F and brush with clarified butter. Per serving, place 2 slices soaked bread on hot griddle. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. To plate per serving, cut French toast diagonally into triangles. Shingle triangles across a plate; garnish with berries. Slice 1 banana lengthwise in half and dust with granulated sugar. Brulee the sugar with a torch until it caramelizes. Arrange caramelized bananas on side of French toast and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with Chambord cream and maple syrup.
