- 1 ripe banana, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Neufchatel cheese
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 pinches ground nutmeg
- 8 thin slices whole wheat cinnamon-raisin bread
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- 1/4 cup pancake syrup
To make French toast: Spread 4 slices of the bread with the banana filling, divided evenly. Top with the remaining banana slices and bread slices to make 4 sandwiches. Whisk together the milk, egg, egg white, and vanilla in a shallow dish or pie plate until blended. Dip the sandwhiches into the egg mixture, turning them over with a spatula to coat both sides.
Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the sandwiches and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides, turning with a spatula half way through the cooking. (To keep warm, place the French toast sandwiches on a baking sheet in a preheated 250 degrees F oven.) Dust with confectioners' sugar. Drizzle with pancake syrup and serve hot.
