Ingredients:

• 4 slices of white bread

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 teaspoon whole milk
• 1 box of Jello instant pudding (vanilla flavor)
• Vanilla wafers cookies
• 1 banana

Instructions:

1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the slightly beaten eggs with the milk, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Dip Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated.
3. Fry French Toast: In a skillet or frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Place the dipped bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, flipping once. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with additional brown sugar and cinnamon for extra flavor.
4. Prepare Banana and Cookies: While the French toast is cooking, slice the banana and sauté it along with the vanilla wafer cookies in the same skillet just until slightly softened.
5. Assemble French Toast: Place one slice of cooked French toast on a serving plate. Top it with a layer of sautéed banana slices and vanilla wafer cookies.
6. Prepare Pudding: Prepare the instant pudding according to the instructions on the box. Once prepared, drizzle the pudding over the stuffed French toast.
7. Serve: Serve the banana pudding stuffed French toast immediately, allowing the warm toast to meld with the creamy pudding for a delightful breakfast or brunch experience.

Tips:

• Choose Quality Bread: Opt for a sturdy white bread, such as brioche or challah, to ensure that the French toast holds its shape and doesn’t become soggy when cooked.
• Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and cinnamon in the egg mixture to suit your taste preferences. You can also use powdered sugar for dusting instead of additional brown sugar.
• Add Texture: Enhance the texture of the French toast by adding chopped nuts or granola to the banana pudding topping for a satisfying crunch.
• Experiment with Flavors: Get creative with the flavors by using different types of instant pudding, such as banana or butterscotch, for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
• Serve with Syrup: For an extra indulgent touch, serve the stuffed French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for added sweetness.
