Banana French Toast

My kids love it when I make French toast. It’s easy to make once you get the hang of separating the egg yolks and whites. I usually use white bread but other bread works well with this recipe too. The addition of bananas makes this French toast even better.

• Large eggs; yolk seperated from whites
  
• 1 banana per two pieces of bread
  
• Bread
  
• Cooking oil
  
• Non-stick pan
  
• Milk
  
• Dipping bowl
  
• Nutmeg
  
• Cinnamon
  
• Ground ginger
  
• Honey or syrup
  

Heat the frying pan on medium. Add some oil, just enough to coat the bottom in a very thin layer. Bread absorbs the oil so only add a little so the bread doesn’t become soggy. While waiting for the frying pan to heat up, separate the whites from yolks. Use the leftover egg whites for meringues or egg drop soup. Beat the egg yolks with some milk, about a cup for every three eggs. Add cinnamon, ground ginger and nutmeg. Stir to mix. Once the frying pan is heated, dip both sides of bread in the batter and add to pan. Cook for about a minute on each side or until golden brown. Place one piece of French toast on the plate. Cut up half the banana and place the pieces on the middle of the french toast. Place the other piece of french toast on top of the other piece and bananas. Cut up the other half of the banana to place on top. Add a few pieces of banana around the plate. Drizzle the banana French toast with honey or syrup and serve. Three eggs makes about six pieces of French toast. You could use strawberries or other fruit instead of bananas.
