Hands down, my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I love getting up early and making breakfast for everyone. Sometimes, though, the getting up early part doesn't happen and I need something tasty and fast. Here's where my beloved Panini Press comes in (like this one). It makes the fastest most delicious French toast. I plug mine in while I get my ingredients and let it preheat. Then it's ready to rock and roll out perfect French toast in 2 minutes! 2 minutes! I usually like to serve mine with butter, syrup and a little fruit on the side (or right on top). That's where I came up with this tasty recipe - melding two of my favorites into one quick meal!
Like I said earlier, I preheat my press so it's hot and ready. Crack 2 eggs into a medium sized bowl or pie pan (bread sized for dipping). Then I add 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp tepid water and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whip it up till it's nice and fluffy.
Put your slices of bread in and flip to cover. This mix will do 4 slices of bread.
Place bread slices on your hot and ready to go panini press and close the lid. Mine took 2 minutes to cook. Meanwhile you can slice up your banana. Carefully remove your toast from the press and onto your plate. Top with sliced bananas and drizzle with caramel sauce. Now eat up buttercup. Yum!
