Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them gently until smooth. For a softer French toast, adding 1 tablespoon of milk will result in a moister and tastier outcome. (Note: If your bread is already milk bread, or if you prefer a lighter taste, you can omit the milk.)
Step 2
Once your egg mixture is ready, dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak for about 10-15 seconds per side to allow the egg mixture to penetrate deeply without becoming too soggy.
Step 3
Peel the banana and slice it into even pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. This size is perfect for placing on top of the toast and for easy eating.
Step 4
Melt 1 piece of butter in a preheated pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, place the egg-coated bread slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting the heat to prevent burning.
Step 5
While the bread is toasting, you can lightly sauté the banana slices in a separate pan or in the same pan after removing the bread. Cook each side for about 30 seconds, just until they soften slightly but still hold their shape, avoiding a mushy texture.
Step 6
Arrange the lightly cooked banana slices attractively on top of the golden-brown French toast. It’s delicious as is, but you can make it even more special in the next steps.
Step 7
Generously spread your choice of blueberry jam or pineapple jam over the bananas. The fruity sweetness and tang will enhance the overall flavor of the French toast. Alternatively, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup works wonderfully too.
Step 8
Finally, for an extra touch, drizzle with honey or syrup, or spread a thin layer of peanut butter for a nutty flavor. Enjoy it warm immediately for the best taste! Savor this delightful snack moment with your whole family.
