- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk

- 4 tablespoons butter
- confectioner's sugar, for dusting

Instructions
- In a large shallow bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the milk and set aside. Peel the bananas into a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Stir in the walnuts and the nutmeg.
