Cook the French Toast
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche slices and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Caramelize the Bananas
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Slice the bananas and add them to the skillet. Cook until the bananas are soft and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.

Flambé the Bananas
