Banana-Stuffed French Toast

Recipe Ingredients

1		Firm ripe banana
3/4 cup	177ml	Half-and-half
2 cups	396g / 13oz	Eggs (large)
1 teaspoon	5ml	Vanilla
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly-grated nutmeg
4		Day-old challah or brioche, 1" thick
2 tablespoons	30ml	Unsalted butter
		Confectioners' sugar - for dusting
		Accompaniment
		Warm maple syrup

Recipe Instructions

Cut banana into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a bowl, whisk together half-and-half, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut bread slices horizontally almost in half, leaving 1 edge intact. Stuff each pocket with 4 to 6 banana slices (do not overstuff).

In a baking dish just large enough to hold bread slices in one layer, arrange slices and pour custard over them. Soak slices, turning them over once or twice to allow bread to absorb all liquid, about 15 minutes.

In a 12-inch non-stick skillet melt butter over low heat until foam subsides and cook slices until golden, about 5 minutes on each side. Dust French toast with confectioners' sugar and serve with syrup.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
