Servings: 2
Cost:
$1.17 per serving
Ingredients
- 2 eggs $0.60
- 1 pinch salt $0.01
- 1 pinch nutmeg $0.09
- 1 pinch cinnamon $0.01
- 1 tablespoon oil (or butter) $0.05
- 4 slices of bread $0.50
- 2 tablespoons butter $0.30
- 1 teaspoon sugar (or honey) $0.01
- 2 bananas, peeled and sliced about 1/2 inch thick $0.40
- 1 orange, juiced $0.36
- 2 teaspoons rum * -
- 1 ounce walnuts (or pecans), chopped * -
Instructions
- Break two eggs into a wide, shallow dish, add a tablespoon of water, a pinch of salt, and pinches of nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat with a fork to mix well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil (or butter) in a medium-size frying pan until it shimmers. While the oil heats, dip four slices of bread, one at a time, into the egg mixture and turn to coat each slice. Place the bread, two slices at a time, in the pan and cook over medium-low heat until golden brown on both sides. Remove to plates.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter (butter browns the bananas better than oil) to the pan, heat until it bubbles, then add the sliced bananas and a teaspoon of sugar (or honey) and cook quickly so the bananas turn light brown. If you have any rum, you can add a splash to the bananas now and cook for a minute before adding the orange juice.
- Add the orange juice, cook a few moments till juice is warm, and spoon the bananas and orange sauce over the French toast. Garnish with chopped nuts if you like.

I didn't think I could love French toast more than I already did...that is, until I tried this brilliant recipe. The orange juice is a nice and tasty touch!
