Method
Step 1
Make the strawberry compote: In a small skillet over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture has thickened slightly about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and gently mash the compote with the back of a fork (or a potato masher).
Step 2
Slice bread into 3 to 4 very thick pieces. Use a knife to create a slit in one side of the toast, then stuff banana slices into the toast. Repeat with remaining bread pieces and bananas.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Dunk each stuffed sliced into the butter mixture, tossing to coat all sides.
Step 4
Pour a 1/4” of vegetable oil into skillet and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the buttered bread and cook until crispy and golden all over, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Drain toast briefly on a wire rack. Pour cinnamon sugar into a large shallow bowl, then gently shake off excess oil from warm toast and toss in cinnamon sugar.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh strawberries and serve with strawberry compote and maple syrup.
