BANANA CREAM FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For topping: combine bananas, orange juice, sugar and lemon juice and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the bananas become very soft.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer bananas to blender.
• Add 1/4 cup of the liquid from the pan and puree until smooth.
• Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill until cold (at least 2 hours).
• Just before serving, beat whipping cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Fold banana puree into whipping cream.
• For French toast, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla.
• Dip bread slices into egg mixture, coating both sides well.
• Melt butter in skillet or griddle and cook slices over medium heat until golden brown.
• Keep slices in warm oven until all are completed.
• Serve with a generous dollop of banana cream topping and garnish with a few slices of freshly sliced bananas.

BANANA CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• To make the filling: Mash cream cheese, banana, sugar, and vanilla.
• Slice bread in half and make little "half sandwiches" with the filling inside.
• Next, beat the eggs, milk, and salt in a seperate bowl.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Dip the little half-sandwiches in the egg/milk mixture and place in the skillet.
• I cook 4 little half-sandwiches at a time for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 on the second until they are golden brown on each side.
• Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and top with raspberries and whipped cream!
• Note: To keep them warm while I cook the rest, I keep them in a warm oven as they get done. Also, be sure to add more butter each time you put new sandwiches in the pan.
