Banana French Toast

The Banana French Toast was absolutely delicious! I haven't made French toast in awhile and this version was wonderful. It was a bit hard to cook because it was so tall, next time I will cut the bread thinner so its easier to cook.

Ingredients:

Loaf bread (French or Italian) cut into thick slices, about 2 inches

1-2 bananas sliced

3 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1-2 tablespoons butter

1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil

butter and maple syrup (for topping)

Cut a slit through the middle of the bread crust about 1/2 way through the slice. Stuff the pocket with 3-4 slices of banana. In a shallow dish, wish the eggs, milk, and cinnamon together. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat both sides of the bread in the milk-egg mixture and place in the skillet. Cook the bread on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
