Amorosa Inn & Gardens, located in Lodi, began life as a 25-acre vineyard and winery. Soon owners added a four bedroom B&B that is a welcome addition to the lush winery. Innkeeper Renae Matson says this recipe is one of their guests' all-time favorites.

Ingredients:

• 8 croissants, preferably 1 day old, halved lengthwise
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 bananas, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 tablespoons cream cheese

For stuffing: Put cream cheese into a microwave safe bowl and heat 20 seconds, or until softened. In a medium bowl, toss banana slices with cinnamon and sugar; set aside.

For French Toast: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until blended. In a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of butter until foam subsides. Quickly dip each croissant half into the egg batter then transfer to a hot skillet with a slotted spatula; cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Cook remaining croissants, adding butter as needed. Transfer cooked croissants to a large dish. Cover bottom slice of each croissant with 1 tablespoon of cream cheese, then a large spoonful of the cinnamon sugar bananas and cover with the top of the croissant. Serve immediately.
