banana stuffed french toast
Banana Stuffed French Toast
Posted by Annette at recipegoldmine.com 12/23/2001 9:10 pm
2 firm-ripe bananas
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons Cointreau or Grand Marnier
Grated zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1 large loaf of challah, brioche or Italian bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Confectioners sugar for dusting
Maple syrup
Cut the bananas into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices. Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, milk, liqueur, orange zest, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Set aside.
Slice off the heels of the bread and discard. Cut the loaf into eight 1-inch pieces. Then cut bread slices horizontally, nearly in half, leaving one edge intact to create a pocket. Fill each bread pocket with 4 more banana slices. Place the stuffed bread in a large deep baking dish in one layer. Pour the egg mixture over them, and allow to soak 5 minutes on each side, until all liquid is absorbed.
Heat the butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the toast in batches (adding more butter, if necessary), about 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the cooked slices to a baking sheet in a warm (250 degree F oven). Place 2 pieces of toast on a plate, dust with confectioners sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.
Serves 4.

Katie, I now know why your family loves this recipe. My family (including the Chinese wife who normally does not like western breakfasts) loved it too!! I liked the added touch of the extra vanilla and corn syrup (I used the dark type)–yummy!!!
This time around, I didn make any changes. I was originally going to add some fruit on top like you did, but didn have any around. Thanks for posting one of the best French toast recipes Ive ever had. Regards, Cookin Dad
Serving size: 6
1 loaf French bread
1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons Karo Syrup
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk

Cinnamon
Fresh fruit
Melt butter and brown sugar and Karo syrup over medium heat stirring. Bring to boil and then pour into 9 x13-inch casserole pan. Slice bread into 1 inch widths and lay over caramel mixture. Mix eggs and milk and vanilla and pour over bread. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
Uncover and bake in 350 degree F oven 45 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit and syrup (optional).
NOTES: Tried this with a layer of drained sliced, canned nectarines over the caramel…Oh, my. Next time will try Granny Smith apples.
