Gouda and Apple Stuffed French Toast

I was feeling very gourmet the other morning and decided to make something  fancy. This easy stuffed french toast recipe was quite tasty. :) You can easily substitute pears or peaches for the apple and any cheese will complement well...mix it up and enjoy.

Gouda and Apple Stuffed French Toast

1 green apple
5 slices of gouda cheese
10 slices of bread
1 ripe banana
1 cup milk (we used Almond Milk)
1 egg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

1. Slice the apple into 1/4 inch slices. Mash the banana in a medium, shallow bowl. Add the milk, egg, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk until combined.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Make the sandwiches by stacking the cheese and about 6 slices of apple on one piece of bread and topping it with the second slice of bread.

3. Holding the sandwich together, gently dip both sides in the banana mixture. Then place the dipped sandwich on the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown and flip to cook the other side until cheese begins to melt. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy.
