Hazelnut Spread Toast With Bacon And Bananas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and place over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool to room temperature.
• Grind the nuts in a food processor until pasty (the nuts will be stuck to the sides of work bowl), 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the condensed milk, honey and salt. Blend well, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the cooled chocolate and pulse until combined. Transfer the spread to a small bowl.
• Serve with the toasts and sliced fruit. Cook's Note: The chocolate can also be melted in a microwave. Microwave the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is very soft. Stir until melted and smooth.

Steps:

• Spread chocolate-hazelnut spread on 1 side of each slice of bread. Arrange banana slices over chocolate-hazelnut spread on 2 of the slices. Place remaining slices atop bananas to form 2 sandwiches.
• Whisk chocolate milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Dip sandwiches in milk mixture and turn as necessary to coat completely.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches in hot butter until both sides are golden brown and banana and chocolate spread have softened, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Whipped Hazelnut Spread: With electric mixer, or by hand, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add hazelnut spread and whip for an additional minute or until well combined and smooth.
• Caramelized Bananas: Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in brown sugar and cinnamon and stir until dissolved. Once mixture starts to bubble, add bananas. Cook until bananas are caramelized and slightly softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Toast: In cast-iron pan or griddle over medium heat, add bacon fat and cook toast on both sides until browned and toasted. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
• To toasted bread, add whipped hazelnut spread, caramelized bananas, and bacon. Garnish with chopped hazelnuts and powdered sugar.
