Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta, half and half and powdered sugar until creamy.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Make a slit halfway through each bread slice with a knife - this will be the "pocket" for the filling. Soak bread in the egg mixture for 5-7 minutes or until soggy, flipping half way through.

Step 4

Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 350°F/176°C.

Step 5

Melt 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter in a Half Moon Cast Iron Griddle. Toast bread in the skillet for 7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until each side is lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Melt 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter in a Paella Pan. Add bananas. Sprinkle bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook, flipping occasionally, for 4 minutes or until bananas are slightly browned.

Step 7

Fold bananas into the ricotta mixture. Spoon the mixture into the slit in each piece of bread. Drizzle with maple syrup and a dash of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
