YUMMY AND HEALTHY BANANA FRENCH TOAST SANDWICH
This is something I just tinkered with until it came out to my liking. I tried it with jelly on the inside, but I couldn't taste it, so I just decided to leave the jelly out. The bananas still stay in between the bread without it. It's very delicious and low-fat as well. It doesn't even need syrup.

SMOKED SALMON FRENCH TOAST SANDWICH
This quick recipe is a great way to use up old bread. Serve with wine and a nice side salad for a bistro-style meal. For a vegetarian option, substitute slices of Granny Smith apples and old Cheddar cheese for the smoked salmon and cream cheese. You can substitute Italian seasoning for the herbes de Provence, if desired. You can use any artisinal-style bread in place of the French bread.

FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST SANDWICH
If you like sweet and savory, this breakfast sandwich is for you. It's surprisingly delicious. Vanilla creamer adds a little bit of sweetness to the french toast. Then, cooking the remaining egg mixture to put on the sandwich is genius. Bacon and cheese add the touch of savoriness the sandwich needs. Powdered sugar sprinkled on...

Steps:
- 1. Beat eggs with coffee creamer and cinnamon. I find sweetened coffee creamer instead of milk adds the bit of sweetness that french toast needs since it is hard to add sugar to the egg and cook it. If you don't have sweetened coffee creamer just use milk and vanilla but it won't be sweet.
- 2. Dip the bread into the egg mixture.
- 3. Cook on med heat (melt butter in the pan before cooking) until done. Remove from pan.
- 4. Add butter to the hot pan. Use the leftover egg mixture to make a folded fried egg.
- 5. Put cheese and bacon on one piece of french toast.
- 6. Place cooked egg on top of the bacon and cheese.
- 7. Sprinkle top and bottom with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use thick slices of bread for a sturdier sandwich that can hold up to the fillings.
- Spread a layer of butter or margarine on the outside of the bread slices before grilling for a golden brown and crispy crust.
- Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations. Popular options include ham and cheese, bacon and eggs, and Nutella and bananas.
- If you're using fresh fruit, be sure to slice it thinly so that it cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when grilling the sandwiches. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the sandwiches over medium heat so that the bread has time to brown and the fillings have time to heat through.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately while they're hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
French toast sandwiches are a delicious and versatile breakfast or lunch option. With so many different fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a combination that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give French toast sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
