Banana Stuffed French Toast

Banana Stuffed French Toast

 

My family loves this as a special breakfast treat! Good to serve

holiday guests, too.

 

For Filling:

 

2 TBS butter, plus more for cooking

1 TBS white sugar

1 TBS light brown sugar

2 TBS water

2 large bananas, peeled and sliced into ½ " rounds

 

For Toast:

 

6 slices day-old French bread (the thick kind, not the long

baguette), sliced to 2 " thickness

1 ½ cups soy milk

3 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp light brown sugar

½ tsp vanilla

 

For filling, melt margarine in a medium pan. Add white and brown

sugars, and the 2 TBS water. Stir constantly until the mixture is

foamy and the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the banana

slices and continue to cook until they are tender, about 4

minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

 

For the batter whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and

vanilla together. Pour into a large, glass baking dish or wide

bowl.

 

To prepare the bread, take each 2 " slice and using a knife,

carefully cut a slit in the middle of the bread. Each slit should

not go all the way to the ends or to the bottom of the bread -

you are creating a pocket for the filling. Stuff each " pocket " with

the filling and place in the batter. Allow to soak 10 minutes,

turning at least once.

 

To cook the french toast, melt soy margarine in a large pan.

When heated, carefully remove the stuffed toast from the batter

and place in the pan. Over medium - medium/high heat cook the

french toast, turning once, until each side is golden brown -

about 4- 5 minutes per side (depends on the pan you are using).

 

Serve immediately. Top with spinkled powder sugar or your favorite

warm syrup.

 

Enjoy,

Catherine
