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 stale bread: Stale bread is less likely to absorb too much egg mixture, resulting in a soggy French toast. If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread slices in the oven or air fryer until they are slightly dry.
  • Use a good quality bread: The type of bread you use will also affect the taste of your French toast. Brioche, challah, and sourdough are all great options.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking French toast, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the slices from cooking evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook your French toast over medium heat. This will help prevent the outside from burning before the inside is cooked through.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Once you've placed the French toast slices in the pan, don't flip them until the underside is golden brown. If you flip them too soon, they will break apart.
  • Serve immediately: French toast is best served immediately. You can keep it warm in a low oven until you're ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a delicious and versatile meal that can be made with a variety of different ingredients. Whether you like it simple or topped with your favorite fruits and syrup, French toast is sure to please everyone at your table.
