Banana Nut French Toast with Crispy Bacon
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 8 slices of bacon
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
- Spread the mashed bananas evenly over 4 slices of bread. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the bananas. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to make 4 sandwiches.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- While the French toast is cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once the French toast and bacon are cooked, serve the French toast with a side of crispy bacon. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
