This little baby is my new best friend! You know those crustables PB & J snack from the freezer aisle...ya well I have one of these tools at home and man does it make life fun! It's from Pampered Chef (my #1 cooking best friend) and it's very inexpensive considering how often you'll use it! Sure, it takes away the crust but it also inspires me to the max! I give you Banana Stuffed French Toast!
Ingredients:
For Banana Stuffing:
3 bananas, cut into 1/2 in. slices
4 tbsp butter, unsalted
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For French Toast:
10 slices of regular wheat bread
2 eggs
3/4 c milk
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla
Brown Sugar Syrup:
4 tbsp butter
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a saute pan. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir till it has a syrup texture to it. Add bananas and stir for a couple minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Scoop about a spoonful of the banana mixture onto a slice of bread. Lay another slice on top and press down slightly. Take the Cut & Seal and Press firmly to create a "crustless sandwich." Continue until you have 5 sandwiches total. Mix eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a bowl. Dip sandwiches into the egg mixture and place on a greased cookie sheet. Contiue with the rest of the sandwiches. Bake for 25 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip the french toast over.
4. While the french toast is in the oven, mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to create a syrup on low heat. Serve warm over the french toast.
