Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbs butter
- 8 thick slices of whole grain bread (day-old bread works well)
- 2 ripe bananas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Turn the heat down to medium low.
- Dip two pieces of bread (one at a time) into the egg mixture. Let them soak for several seconds so they gets saturated.
- Carefully transfer the bread to the skillet. Cook the bread over medium heat on one side for about two minutes, then flip both pieces.
- Place half a banana, thinly sliced, on top of one piece of bread. Place the other slice on top, cooked side down (touching the bananas). Let the sandwich cook for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is well browned. Flip the stack and cook on the other side for 2 minutes. Remove the French toast from the pan and place it in a covered dish in the oven to keep it warm.
- Repeat with the remaining slices of bread. As each sandwich is cooked, place it in the covered dish in the warm oven so everyone can eat together.
- Serve warm with a little maple syrup or berry sauce.
