STUFFED FRENCH TOAST…
Yeah, I like fashion but I also like french toast… a lot.
Normal french toast is good but, as I discovered this morning, stuffed french toast is even better. I’d never tried it before but am now officially hooked. This version is made with a banana nut honey filling but I think a berry mixture might even be better and pack a punchier flavor. I got this recipe from Jamie Oliver (my all time favorite) but I think his portions were a little off – it claims to be for 2 servings but I was left with tons so I’ve amended his ingredients a bit.
Ingredients
2 bananas (peeled and sliced), 50 grams pecan nuts (chopped), 1 tablespoon honey, 4 slices of bread, 2 eggs, half a cup of milk, butter and icing sugar.
Directions
Mix the bananas, pecan nuts and honey in a bowl. Spoon out the mixture onto 2 slices of the bread, leaving a slight space around the edges. Top with the other piece of bread – to make a sandwich. Heat a frying pan over a moderate heat. Mix the eggs and milk into a bowl – pour onto a small plate. Dip both sides of the banana sandwiches in the mixture – don’t get the middle wet. Melt the butter in the frying pan. Fry each sandwich until golden brown. Sprinkle with icing sugar (really that’s just for looks).
Serve with orange juice, strong coffee and maple syrup for a killer combo.
Jennifer! Ya killin me here! God I am so hungry, that looks incredible. x
My granola looks so measly next to this. You are very close to swerving me off my health-freak-ness.

Oh god I love french toast. I’m going to try this, but with brioche because it’s so much yummier.
That looks delicious. Never tried french toast, so I’ll definitely try it soon. Thanks! xx
It’s a pie!!!!! Looks yummy I might try that myself as I don’t have a toaster and an oven in HK.
dude, i just ate dinner and my tummy is hungry again
o.m.g…………….
That looks AMAZING! I am totally going to try this and it looks like it would fill you right up too!
Toast-pie! Haha, that looks so good…and now I’m imagining how it would taste with berries inside instead of this filling…definitely going to add stuff french toast to list of things to try xx
Ohhh this looks SO good!! I am definitely trying this, mmmmm..
xxxx
they call it French but we dont eat those kind of toasts in France!
anyway, who cares;) it seems delicious!!
OH MY GOD! This is a breakfast to end all other breakfasts!
You are the killer of my diet woman, you better know it!
Indeed, this will be on my table next Sunday morning (and my boyfriend will be very grateful to this post I guess ;D)
I would like to try it with the Apple crumble filling: apples cooked briefly with spices (cinnamon, ginger), a little bit of cognac and maybe some pine nuts and walnuts… What do you think about it? Have you already tried other variants?
Have a great start of the week!

That is such a great idea! I haven’t tried any other fillings but was thinking of doing a red berry mixture next time. Apple crumble sounds incredible. Please let me know how it turns out! xx
Oh Jen I’ll never get used to American sweet french toast. It just doesn’t work for me… I was always brought up making it savoury, mixing the egg with salt and pepper (and maybe Old Bay seasoning?). You should try it sometime!
I LOVE French Toast but I have never heard of stuffed french toast til now. This looks awesome and really delicious! Mmmmmmm….xx
I shouldn’t watch this before breakfast, I’m so hungryyyy, can I have some please

Hey! I just found your blog through another one. I love Jamie Oliver too! I feel like I have grown up with him, from a bachelor to a married man to a father. Anyways, I want to try this recipe out at some point in time. Thanks for sharing!
now me hungry
That’s looks yummy! I’m hungry..
xx.
I am trying this for breakfast this weekend!
My dad makes this all the time– the best trick is to use a really good, big loaf of bread (a giant french bread or sourdough even), cut super thick slices (at least 3″) and then cut a slit halfway down the middle of those slices to create a pocket of sorts. Then just stuff the pocket. (strawberries and nutella is my favourite varient)
Your photos are amazing, yum!
Gimme. Now. x
Um… that looks INSANE. By which I mean delicious, of course. I think mine would have bananas and nutella inside. Drool.
