Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 slices of thin bread (Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Bread works great)
- Nutella, to taste
- 1 large banana, sliced thin
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Slather each slice of bread with Nutella to your liking.
- Place a layer of sliced bananas on 4 of the Nutella-covered bread slices.
- Top each with another slice of Nutella-covered bread to form 4 sandwiches.
- In a shallow, wide bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from skillet and serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
For a variation, try using strawberries instead of bananas, or a mix of both. This dish is best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed. Use any type of thin bread you prefer, but make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold the filling. Adjust the amount of Nutella to your taste.
