Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices French bread (thick slices)
- 2 medium Banana
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into thin, round slices. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and half of the ground cinnamon until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over one side of each slice of French bread.
Layer banana slices on top of the cream cheese mixture on two of the slices, then top with the remaining slices of bread to create two sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining ground cinnamon.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt completely.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.
Place one sandwich into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding more butter if needed.
Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup immediately before serving.
