Ingredients
Scale
- 10 slices sandwich bread
- 3 bananas (sliced thinly)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup sugar (for coating)
- 3 tbsps milk
- 3 – 4 tbsps butter
- 1 tbsp sugar (for sautéing bananas)
- ½ – 1 tsp cinnamon
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Caramelize Bananas: Sauté banana slices in butter over medium heat, sprinkling with sugar until golden and fragrant, developing a rich caramel essence.
- Prepare Coating: Combine remaining sugar with ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, creating a sweet and aromatic dusting mixture.
- Create Egg Wash: Whisk eggs and milk until smooth and well-integrated, preparing a silky dipping liquid for the rolls.
- Prepare Bread: Remove crusts and gently flatten bread slices with a rolling pin, creating a uniform thin canvas for rolling.
- Fill and Roll: Position caramelized banana along one edge of flattened bread, brush opposite edge with egg wash, then tightly roll the bread, sealing the banana filling completely.
- Cook Rolls: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet, dip prepared rolls in egg mixture, and cook seam-side down, rotating to achieve an even golden-brown exterior on all sides.
- Finish and Serve: Immediately coat warm rolls in cinnamon-sugar mixture or dust with powdered sugar, ensuring a crisp exterior and delectable presentation. Serve hot for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Seal Carefully: Use egg wash along the bread’s edge to ensure the roll stays tightly closed during cooking, preventing filling from leaking.
- Pan Temperature Matters: Maintain medium heat to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning the delicate bread rolls.
- Bread Selection Tip: Choose soft, fresh white bread with minimal crumbs for easier rolling and a smoother texture.
- Caramelization Secret: Watch bananas closely while cooking, stirring gently to develop rich, deep flavor without burning sugar.
