Banana French Toast

The banana adds a little sweetness that even fruit-a-phobes may not notice. You can use any absorbent bread (we've even used stale whole wheat when desperate).

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch salt
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 baguette (preferably day old), cut into ¾ inch slices
• 3 tbsp butter
• Icing sugar & maple syrup (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine eggs, milk cinnamon and salt in large bowl; whisk to combine.
2. Stir in mashed banana.
3. Add baguette slices to egg mixture in batches. 
4. Use a fork to squish the bread and soften the crust so the bread soaks up the mixture.
5. Melt butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add as many baguette slices as will fit; fry for about 2 minutes per side or until slices are golden.
6. Serve immediately, either plain, dusted with icing sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.

Makes 4 servings.
