We think it looks and tastes even better if you pick up cinnamon-raisin bread at the local bakery and slice it yourself.
Ingredients
Light cream cheese
2 tbsp(s), (Neufchâtel), at room temperature
Raisin bread
4 slice(s), with cinnamon (3⁄8-inch-thick)
Banana
1 medium, ripe, thinly sliced
1% low fat milk
¼ cup(s)
Raw egg
1 large
Vanilla extract
¼ tsp(s)
Unsalted butter
⅓ tbsp(s), or 1 teaspoon
Maple syrup
2 tbsp(s), warmed
Strawberries
6 medium, fresh, hulled and sliced
Instructions
1
Spread the cream cheese on the bread. Divide the banana over 2 slices of the bread and top each with a slice of the remaining bread.
2
Combine the milk, egg, and vanilla in a small shallow bowl; beat lightly with a fork.
3
Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Briefly dip the sandwiches, one at a time, into the egg mixture. Place both sandwiches in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, 3–4 minutes on each side. Place a stuffed French toast on each of 2 plates; top each with 15 ml (1 Tbsp) of the maple syrup and 3 of the sliced strawberries. Yields 1 stuffed French toast with toppings per serving.
