How to Make Banana Breakfast Sandwiches
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Place the buttered side of two bread slices in a skillet or panini press over medium heat.
- Layer banana slices on one of the bread slices in the skillet.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped pecans (optional).
- Dip the other bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Place the egg-dipped bread slice on top of the bananas.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the bananas are softened. If using a panini press, close and cook according to manufacturer's instructions (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing in half and serving immediately. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
