BBQ FRENCH TOAST WITH BANANAS AND CHOCOLATE

You read right! There aren’t many breakfast and dessert recipes that you can prepare on the barbecue, and the whole family is going to love this one. Substitute the chocolate hazelnut spread for peanut butter if you want to make a version that’s not quite as sweet and that’s more sustaining. For best results, your grill should have a cover and a high shelf.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

• 8 slices bread

• 6-8 tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella gives great results)

• 4 ripe bananas, cut in ½-inch slices

• 4 medium eggs

• 1 cup chocolate milk

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Some cooking oil for the grill

• Icing sugar for garnish

Directions

1. Thoroughly brush grill with oil before heating it to medium.

2. Lightly beat together eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla extract.

3. Spread Nutella (or brand of your choice) on bread slices.

4. Place four slices of bread on large plate, Nutella side up.

5. Place banana slices on Nutella, then add other slices of bread, Nutella side down, to form sandwiches.

6. Pour beaten eggs over sandwiches. Let stand a few minutes, then turn to soak other side.

7. Gently place sandwiches on grill and close lid. Be careful not to burn them! If necessary, put sandwiches on top shelf, at the sides, where it’s not as hot.

8. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

9. Remove from heat and sprinkle with icing sugar.

10. Serve with maple syrup.
