Cream Cheese and Banana Stuffed French Toast recipe

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

• Thick slices of French-toast friendly bread (French, Italian, challah or whatever your favorite bread for French toast is, just so long as you can cut thick slices)
• Cream cheese frosting OR cream cheese softened to room temperature and mixed with a bit of vanilla extract, powdered sugar and milk (if needed), to taste
• Thinly sliced bananas
• Eggs (about 1 egg per every 2 slices)
• Dash of milk
• Dash of vanilla extract (more dashes for more eggs)

Instructions

1. Whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla extract and set aside.
2. Cutting halfway down the slice, cut a pocket into each thick slice of bread. As you pull the knife through the final time, when the tip enters the slice, angle it down so that you can make the pocket a little deeper inside the slice without cutting the edges of the pocket any further down than half way.
3. Spread a thickish layer of cream cheese frosting or sweetened cream cheese inside the pocket, then add a layer of bananas.
4. Dip stuffed slices as usual in the egg mixture and cook over medium heat on the stove until both sides are golden brown. Serve with butter and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. (You will not need any other sweeteners!)
