Banana Stuffed French Toast
with Chocolate and Raspberry Sauce

This recipe is sure to impress your loved one on Valentine’s Day, or any day of the year!

Ingredients:

8 slices Texas toast-style bread
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Chocolate sauce
Raspberry coulis (pureed and strained raspberries,
lemon juice and powdered sugar)
Fresh berries for garnish

Filling:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Egg Dip:

4 eggs
1 cup half & half
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. banana extract or banana liqueur

Directions:

Combine the filling ingredients and spread on 4 bread slices. Place second piece of bread on top of each slice.

Beat egg dip ingredients in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip “sandwiches” into egg dip, and flip to ensure even soaking.

Fry both sides of each sandwich on medium-hot griddle until nicely browned. Remove, place all on a baking sheet, cover and bake at 325° for 20 minutes.

Decorate plates with swirls of raspberry coulis and dots of chocolate sauce. Cut French toast in half, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Arrange 2 halves on each plate, garnish with fresh berries, and serve with love!
