Banana Breakfast Sandwich

I received a book to review a while back but with work travels and other adventures, I am just now getting around to making a couple of its recipes. The book is Start Fresh by Tyler Florence.

We do not have any children at this point, but if I did, I think this book would be a must.  It had a lot of healthy recipes for children.  Actually, it has recipes for all ages even though the cover and title emphasize the little ones.  Today I am going to share the recipe for a breakfast meal with you.  I think your children will like it, and I know you will.  It’s like banana French toast.

 

BANANA BREAKFAST SANDWICHES 

 

Makes 2 Adult Servings or 4 Kid Servings

2 bananas, halved crosswise and then halved lengthwise

4 slices whole wheat or multigrain bread

2 eggs

1/2 cup whole milk (I used skim)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch of salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon confectioners’ sugar

 – Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on 2 of the bread slices.  Top with the remaining bread slices.

 

 – In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to whisk to blend.  Soak each sandwich in the egg mixture for a minute or two or until the bread is just saturated.

 

 – Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden, 2 to 3 minutes.  Flip the sandwiches, place a heavy pan on top of the sandwiches to press them and cook until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

 

 – Cut each sandwich into quarters and serve warm with a drizzle of honey and shake of confectioners’ sugar.
