Ingredients

• 4 slices French bread (thick slices)
• 2 medium Banana
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the bananas into thin, round slices. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and half of the ground cinnamon until smooth.

Step 3

Spread the cream cheese mixture over one side of each slice of French bread.

Step 4

Layer banana slices on top of the cream cheese mixture on two of the slices, then top with the remaining slices of bread to create two sandwiches.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt completely.

Step 7

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.

Step 8

Place one sandwich into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding more butter if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup immediately before serving.
