Banana Pudding Stuffed French Toast

How to make Banana Pudding Stuffed French Toast

Instructions:

Filling:

1 small box of instant banana pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

½ cup Cool Whip Whipped topping

French Toast:

6 slices, thick, brioche bread or similar type

1 cup of milk

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

¼ tsp salt

Butter to fry the bread

Garnish:

Banana slices

Cool whip topping

Maple Syrup

Instructions:

Make filling:

In a large bowl, add pudding mix and pour over milk; whisk for two minutes, until mixture thickens.

Let set for another 3 minutes to thicken more, then fold in Cool Whip. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and cut end so that the tip is a very small hole.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt.

Stuff the bread: Using a paring knife (serrated if you’ve got one!), cut a slit into one side of the slice to create a pocket. Fill with banana pudding.

Dunk both sides of bread into egg mixture and transfer to a plate while you heat your skillet.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt about 1 tablespoon butter. Working in batches, add as many bread slices that will fit and cook until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes.

Transfer to a clean plate and repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter to skillet if needed.

Dollop more Cool Whip onto each serving and garnish with banana slices. Serve warm with maple syrup for drizzling.
