Preparation

Step 1

Cut a 1-inch pocket in one side of each bread slice.

Cut banana in half crosswise, then split each piece lengthwise.

Remove peel and stuff 2 pieces of fruit in each pocket of bread; set aside.

Mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Mix well the egg, milk and vanilla.

Heat about 4 inches of oil in a pan to 350 degrees F.

Dip stuffed bread into egg/milk mixture and let it soak a few seconds to let penetrate bread.

Fry bread on both sides in hot oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Drain on paper towels or wire rack.
