Banana French Toast Sandwiches

Mon Petit Four recipe - French (Baking/Home)

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

2 in large bananas cut half horizontally, so 8 slices of bananas total, then sliced lengthwise
4 slices french bread, 8 halves total, cut in half
3 eggs
3/4 c whole milk
3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
butter for pan
maple syrup to drizzle
powdered sugar to dust

1
Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together in a wide bowl until thoroughly combined. Warm a tablespoon of butter in a pan or griddle over medium heat.
2
Cut each of your french bread slices into half, creating 8 halves total. Use a fork to dip the bread into your egg-milk mixture long enough to be fully immersed and coated, but not so long that it starts to disintegrate and fall apart. Gently transfer the bread onto the pan to fry.
3
Work with 2 bread halves at a time. Fry each side for approx. 1-1/2 minutes, or until golden brown. Once both halves have been fried, set them aside on a plate.
4
Now, dip 2 new bread halves into the egg-milk mixture, but this time, fry only one side of each piece of bread. Before flipping to fry the other side, assemble your sandwiches: Add 2 of the banana slices you've cut up to the completely fried toast halves that were initially made. Then top the sandwiches with the half-fried slices of bread that are in the pan, making sure the non-fried sides are facing up. Gently transfer these sandwiches back into the pan and place the non-fried side of the sandwich down on the pan. Repeat this step for the remaining sandwiches to-be made.
5
Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and warm maple syrup if you like.
