Jamaican French Toast Sandwich

Based on the traditional French Toast, this is breakfast with a comfort food touch... especially useful after a big night too. This doesn't take too long to make and is fantastic with freshly brewed coffee.



Serves: 2
Preparation and Cooking Time: 1/2hr

Ingredients:
4 Slices of White Bread
2Tbsp Melted Butter
Tin of Crushed Pineapple
2 Sliced Bananas
Mixed Spice
Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
Cream or Milk
Tsp Rum
1 tsp oil for cooking

Method:
Spread melted butter to edges of one side of each slice of bread.

Place a layer of sliced banana in the centre of 2 of the bread slices.

Top with a little crushed pineapple.

Sprinkle with about a tsp of brown sugar.

Sprinkle with mixed spice.

Place another layer of banana and repeat above steps.

It's up to you how many 'layers' you'd like - my personal preference is three.

Place the other buttered slice of bread on top (butter side down) and slightly press down so there is a hill in the center of the sandwich.

Dip in eggwash and place on frypan on medium heat and cook till both sides are golden brown.

Remove from heat.

Sprinkle top of sandwich with brown sugar and mixed spice.

Place in medium grill while you make your coffee (sugar topping should be slightly caramelised to give a crunchy texture).

Eggwash:
Beat eggs well with a little milk or cream. Add rum and sprinkle of mixed spice. Mix well.
