In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add in the honey and melted butter, whisking until fully combined.

Gently fold the soaked matzoh pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring the matzoh is evenly coated.
5
Spoon half of the matzoh-egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
6
Layer the sliced bananas evenly on top of the matzoh base, followed by a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
7
Carefully pour the remaining matzoh-egg mixture over the bananas and nuts, spreading it gently to cover.
8
Finally, dust the top generously with ground cinnamon to add a fragrant touch.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the edges are set.

Once baked, allow it to cool slightly before serving. This dish can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even chilled.
