Banana Ricotta French Toast Sandwich Recipes

CHOCOLATE & BANANA FRENCH TOAST

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.

Steps:

Do this for both slices of bread, so you have two sandwiches. Beat in a separate bowl, eggs and milk. Place one side of sandwich in the egg mixture, let set for about a minute or until it looks like it has soaked through. Flip over and repeat. Do this for both sandwiches. In a sauce pan, heat one pad of butter over medium heat until melted. Place sandwich, and cook until golden brown. Flip and repeat. I also cook the sides and front of sandwich, about 30 seconds on each side; until whole sandwich is golden brown. Finish one, wipe pan clean, and repeat for second sandwich. Top plate, drizzle honey on top. I also think chopped almonds would taste great as well. Then take a giant bite and enjoy!
