Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons Nutella
- 1 large Banana
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Place the coated slices of bread onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining butter and bread slices.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto one side of each French toast slice.
Slice the banana into thin rounds and evenly distribute the banana slices over two of the Nutella-covered bread slices.
Top each banana-covered slice with a second slice of French toast, Nutella side down, to create a sandwich.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
