Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces thick bread slices (brioche or challah recommended)
- 1 piece ripe banana, sliced
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cups maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Place the banana slices on one slice of bread, spreading them evenly across the surface. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices of bread and banana.
Carefully dip each banana-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides thoroughly. Allow excess liquid to drip off before cooking.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted and slightly foamy, place one or two sandwiches (depending on skillet size) into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the Greeneyes Banana French Toast to plates. Optionally sprinkle sugar and powdered sugar on top, and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent breakfast classic!
