Directions

1. In an 8-inch square dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, vanilla and salt.

2. Place 2 slices of bread in egg mixture and soak for 15 seconds per side. Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Fry bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure even browning. Repeat with remaining bread and egg mixture adding canola oil as needed, 1 tbsp at a time.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, toss together strawberries, banana and maple syrup. Spoon strawberry mixture over 4 slices of cooked French toast and top each sandwich with another piece of French toast. Cut each sandwich into triangles and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy with a side of fruit!

Tip: Get creative with your french toast sandwich filling. Try some sliced apples, a fruit purée or a mixture of berries!
