Gooey Chocolate and Banana French Toast

Recipe serves: 4

Method

Place sugar, cream, cinnamon, vanilla bean paste and eggs into a bowl. Whisk until well combined.

Cut banana into 3rds and each piece into 3 lengthways (you should have 9 pieces in total)

Place a chopping board onto the bench. Dip 1 side of the bread into the egg mixture, place the dipped side down onto a chopping board. Spread the side facing up (undipped side) with chocolate spread (all the way to the edge), place 2 slices of banana on the bread.

Dip another piece of bread one sided into the egg mixture, place the undipped side on top of the bananas, press down around the edges.

Repeat with the remaining 6 slices of bread. You should have 8 sandwiches.

Heat a large non-stick fry pan to a medium temperature, add 1 tbsp of butter into the pan.

Once the pan is hot use an egg flip to place 1 sandwich in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden. Use a spatula to flip it over and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Add a little more butter to the pan if needed and repeat step 6 for the remaining 3 sandwiches.

Cut in half on a plate and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh berries.
