Banana Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch slices
• 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon water
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 0.25 cup butter
• confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps

1. Cut along an edge of each bread slice to form a pocket reaching about 2/3 of the way in. Put 2 or 3 banana slices into each pocket.
2. Beat eggs, water, milk, vanilla extract, orange liqueur, and orange zest together in a medium bowl. Dip the bread in this mixture and let it become saturated.
3. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place a few bread slices in the skillet at a time and cook, turning once, until both sides are golden brown. Dust with confectioners' sugar for serving.
