Steemit Sandwich Contest Week#55 - Bacon & Banana French Toasties
Another week gone by and as I told everyone in my #cookwithus post, it was not a good one; but we have to eat and sandwiches always are the very best standby in times of trouble.
Thanks to @jaybird's Steemit Sandwich Contest #55, hubby was all smiles as he got one of his favourite sandwiches for breakfast - Bacon & Banana French Toasties, loaded with eggy bread, cheese melts, Banana fried in a thin layer of smoky Bacon fat, crispy streaky Bacon & fried Onion rings. Topped with a little heart-shaped French Toast & a couple of Cheese crisps on the side, hubby's heart just melted and he surrendered to all my demands :)
INGREDIENTS:
- Honey & Oats Bread - divine bread that I grab as they bake a limited number
- Egg - seasoned & beaten
- Streaky bacon - crisply fried
- Banana - sliced and fried in a little Bacon fat
- Onion rings - fried in the same pan
- Cheddar Cheese - grated
Cut a heart shape out of 1 slice bread
Fry Bacon in a little Olive Oil till crisp - remove & keep warm
Dip bread in beaten egg & fry in Bacon fat, top with grated cheese after turning bread - remove & keep warm
Fry Onion rings & Banana slices
Now for the assembly line:
- First layer of course was the cheese which has melted nicely by now
- Second in line is fried Banana
- Crispy fried Bacon goes on top of the sweet fried Bananas
- Fried Onion rings make their appearance
- Little heart-shaped French toast comes to rest on top of all this deliciousness
- Garnished with crispy little Cheese toasties
My proof photo - please excuse the faint hand written sign
The salty/ smoky/ sweetish flavours of fried Bananas & Bacon always is an excellent pairing - the addition of melted cheese & Onion rings just added extra zing to the mix.
And a quick look at how to assemble this sandwich:

I am going to make this one for my son and me for a late night snack! I don't dare share these sandwiches with the little Cling-ons. I'd be making sandwiches all day long! 🤣
Hope you enjoy it @cecicastor, I really admire what you do for the little Cling-ons ;)
Wow, I'm really into this one! Love a good french toast with bananas especially!
I really like that you fried them to bring out the sweetness a bit more.
Honey & Oats Bread sounds incredible to nice find and addition!
And of course I strongly approve of your bacon and onions :)
very creative take on a classic food. Excellent pres too!
Thank you so much @jaybird, it was really delicious :)

I am a fan of all kind of sandwiches, especially when I try something new. And I can't wait to eat one of these too! :)
Thank you for your support, you'll have to travel to South Africa and I'll make one of these just for you @gabrielatravels :)
It looks great, but I don't know if I could do the bananas. I enjoy bananas plain, but I don't like bananas in things or banana flavored things. Every other part of it I would totally decimate though! Great post and awesome pictures!
Thank you for your support @bozz, the sweet & savoury actually is really great, but I will leave out the banana just for you ;)
Thanks I appreciate it! 😂
Morning breakfast cant be better than this..looks delicious..👍

@lizelle This looks amazing! And I love your heart-shaped cutting board! So cute! I bet your husband loved this delicious-looking sandwich!
Thank you @ilsaione, he did enjoy it! That's my favourite wooden board, nice to meet new contestants here, you're doing very well. @jaybird really is a great guy :)
Thanks for the warm welcome @lizelle! And yes, @jaybird seems like a really nice guy and very generous to be hosting this contest! It has been getting me wanting sandwiches once a week and thinking on what I can concoct for the next week.
I told @jaybird I've never been a sandwich lover but since entering his contest I'm constantly thinking of sandwiches :):)
I know! So many people getting into sandwiches thanks to @jaybird!
You can say you put your "heart" into this one, hehe. I've never had bacon and banana together plus cheese...it all looks so good. I love all the crispy cheesy bits on this creation.
Thank you @loveself, you must try that combo, it is very good :)
Wow - that's an interesting combination of flavours! Banana and bacon - have never tried that!
It's a real good combo, thanks for stopping by :)
