For the French Toast

8 slices stale banana bread

1⁄2 cup (140 g) Nutella

3 large eggs

120 ml milk

1 tbsp castor sugar

Pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp butter, for frying

To Serve

Powdered sugar, for dusting

4 scoops vanilla ice cream

2. Top with the remaining 4 slices to create 4 sandwiches.
3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.
4. Carefully dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, allowing both sides to absorb some of the liquid without becoming soggy.
5. Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
6. Cook 2 sandwiches at a time for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
7. Repeat with the remaining butter and sandwiches.
