Banana Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 slices of good quality bread
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 pinch salt
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ripe banana (mashed in a dash of lemon juice to prevent browning)
Garnish with
1 dash confectioners' sugar
1 cup raspberries
Cool Whip

Preparation

To make the filling: Mash cream cheese, banana, sugar, and vanilla.
Slice bread in half and make little \"half sandwiches\" with the filling inside.
Next, beat the eggs, milk, and salt in a seperate bowl.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip the little half-sandwiches in the egg/milk mixture and place in the skillet.
I cook 4 little half-sandwiches at a time for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 on the second until they are golden brown on each side.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and top with raspberries and whipped cream!
Note: To keep them warm while I cook the rest, I keep them in a warm oven as they get done. Also, be sure to add more butter each time you put new sandwiches in the pan.
