Batter:

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Filling:

1 1/2 cups cream cheese

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup medium-diced banana

1/8 cup orange juice

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Syrup:

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 cinnamon sticks

Butter, as needed

4 (2-inch thick) pieces challah bread

Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Fresh berries, for serving, optional

Batter:

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well until incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Filling:

Fold all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated but not completely smooth.

Syrup:

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/3.

French Toast:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat a large saute pan and then add butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Divide filling between 2 pieces of the bread top with the remaining 2 pieces of bread. Transfer French toast to oven and bake for 8 minutes.

Cut each French toast in half and serve with the cinnamon syrup and, if desired, a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.

Absolutely wonderful!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I were trying to come up with a fun and delicious addition to our Easter brunch, and we found the perfect... thing with this recipe! We tried this recipe last weekend, and were thrilled with how it turned out. Since some of our guests aren't banana fans, we split the filling in two and tried half with chopped fresh strawberries and half with a black raspberry jam. Both were so good, we're still trying to figure out which one to use this weekend. I can't wait for everyone's reactions!!Read more

This took me just a few minutes to prepare....I added a fresh blueberry pureed sauce instead of syrup! So delicious!

This recipe is soo good!!!! My mawmaw makes the best french toast ever and I think this actually beat her's ... so good ...... very filling and very rich! the syrup was SOOO good, I think that was one of my favorite parts of the dish! It gave the toast so much flavor and the taste of homemade syrup, very yummy! the syrup does need to be made first!! if you cook it at the same time it will be too runny, I made mine like 45 minutes before I started cooking the french toast!Read more

It was simply divine :-) Instead of bananas I used fresh apples and pecans! We didn't have any need for the syrup, the pastry... like stuffing was perfect!Read more

Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my family and it was delicious! Very rich and I could only eat a small amount of it, but it was sooooo good.... It would make a good side dish with a savory breakfast. It could also work as a dessert. It was easy to make, too.Read more
