Instructions

Prepare the batter

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the eggs are fully beaten for a smooth mixture.

Fill the bread

Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella on one side of each bread slice. Arrange banana slices on two of the slices and top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.

Pro tip: Use ripe bananas for best flavour.

Soak the sandwiches

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked.

Pro tip: Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds per side to absorb the mixture.

Heat the pan

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

Pro tip: Ensure the pan is evenly heated before adding the sandwiches.

Cook the French toast

Place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Pro tip: Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Serve

Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with optional toppings like powdered sugar or maple syrup.

Pro tip: Enjoy while hot for the best taste.
