Nutella-Banana Stuffed French Toast
This French toast is an adaptation of a recipe from Café 222 in San Diego. The original recipe, made with peanut butter, aired on the Food Network. Nutella is a chocolate-hazelnut spread and can be found next to the peanut butter in most grocery stores. Serves 2.
Ingredients:
4 slices white bread (day-old, if possible)
1 or 2 ripe bananas
4 T. Nutella
Honey, for drizzling
4 eggs
1/4 c. milk
1 T. vanilla
1 T. dark rum
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg
Butter for frying
Step-by-step:
1. Remove crust from bread. Lay bread on counter and spread a thin layer of Nutella on each slice. Slice enough banana to cover two of the slices of bread. Drizzle a small amount of honey on the other two pieces of bread. Place honey-drizzled pieces of bread on top of the banana slices, honey side down, to make two sandwiches.
2. In a shallow bowl, gently whip, by hand, the eggs, milk, vanilla, rum, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Heat skillet to medium heat, around 350 degrees. Add butter. When the butter begins to sizzle, dip one sandwich at a time into batter and place into skillet. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
4. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and place decoratively on plate. Top with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with your favorite syrup.
