Cornflake-Crusted Banana-Stuffed French Toast is a spin on classic French toast that is a perfect breakfast for special occasions or weekends. It features slices of cinnamon-raisin bread with a rich and sweet banana filling, dipped in a crunchy coating of crushed corn flakes and sliced almonds. The dish is a combination of textures and flavors that make it exciting. It is an easy recipe to make, and it is also a good way to use up any leftover bread. The dish is best served with maple syrup on top.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.	In a small bowl, mix together the crushed corn flakes, sliced almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
3.	In another small bowl, whisk together the egg white, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of water.
4.	Spread the mashed banana on 2 slices of the cinnamon-raisin bread. Top with the other 2 slices to make 2 sandwiches.
5.	Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, then coat with the corn flake mixture.
6.	Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
7.	Transfer sandwiches to a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
