CHOCOLATE & BANANA FRENCH TOAST



Chocolate & banana French toast image

An indulgent treat for when you're in need of a sweet fix - chocolate and banana sandwiched in fried bread

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch, Snack, Treat

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ripe banana
75g milk chocolate , chopped
4 slices crusty white bread from a round loaf
3 medium eggs
1 tbsp double cream
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
25g unsalted butter
ground cinnamon , to serve
icing sugar or extra maple syrup, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the banana into a small bowl and mash using a fork. Add the chopped chocolate and mix to combine.
  • Lay 2 slices of bread on the work surface. Divide the chocolate and banana mixture between them, spreading it almost to the edges. Top each with a second slice of bread and press together to make a sandwich.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, double cream, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Lay one sandwich into the egg mixture to coat one side, then carefully flip it over so that both sides of the sandwich are soaked in the egg. Lower the sandwich into the hot frying pan and cook for about 1 min on each side, until golden brown and the chocolate has started to melt. Repeat with the second sandwich. Cut the sandwiches in half to serve and sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon and either icing sugar or extra maple syrup if you're feeling super-indulgent.

Tips:

  • Use a thick, hearty bread, such as French bread or sourdough, to make your sandwich sturdy enough to hold all the fillings.
  • Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of the bread before grilling to help it brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for the filling. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwich.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when grilling your sandwiches. This will make them soggy and prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve your chocolate French toast sandwiches immediately with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Chocolate French toast sandwiches are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sandwich that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for something sweet and satisfying, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
