BANANA STUFFED FRENCH TOAST, "ULTIMATE-STYLE"



Banana Stuffed French Toast,

Provided by Food Network

Time 43m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup pancake mix
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
12 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups brown sugar
4 ripe bananas, sliced
1 large (1 1/2 to 2-pound) loaf unsliced French bread
About 2 cups crushed crunchy corn cereal (recommended: Corn Flakes)
About 12 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix with enough water to make a thin batter. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar and eggs. Whisk together until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together walnuts, brown sugar, and banana slices.
  • Slice the ends off the French bread. Starting at 1 end, measure about a half inch down the loaf and slice the bread 3/4 of the way through. Measure about another half inch, and slice cleanly through the bread. You should have a 1-inch slice of bread with a cut down the middle. Repeat this process until the bread is all sliced up.
  • Take a piece of the cut French bread and stuff a few tablespoons of the banana mixture into the slit in the middle. Add a good amount, but do not overstuff so that the mixture won't stay in the center. Repeat until all the slices are stuffed.
  • Preheat a skillet or flat-top grill over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, coat it with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Pour the crushed-up cornflakes onto a plate. Take a slice of stuffed bread and dip it into the egg mixture, coating both sides liberally. Then press the bread into the cornflakes and flip it to coat both sides. Place the bread on the grill or skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Flip the toast over and cook the other side. Repeat the coating and cooking process for each slice of bread, and add more butter to the grill or skillet as necessary, about 2 tablespoons of butter per slice.

Tips:

  • Use a thick, sturdy bread for your French toast, such as brioche, challah, or French bread. This will help the bread hold up to the egg mixture and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your French toast. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly.
  • Cook your French toast over medium heat. This will help the bread cook through without burning.
  • Flip your French toast only once. This will help prevent the bread from breaking.
  • Serve your French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that will start your day off right. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give French toast a try.
