Nutella-Banana Stuffed French Toast

4 slices white bread (day-old, if possible)
1 or 2 ripe bananas
4 tablespoons Nutella
Honey, for drizzling
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Butter for frying Remove crust from bread. Lay bread on counter and spread a thin layer of Nutella on each slice. Slice enough banana to cover two of the slices of bread. Drizzle a small amount of honey on the other two pieces of bread. Place honey-drizzled pieces of bread on top of the banana slices, honey side down, to make two sandwiches.

In a shallow bowl, gently whip, by hand, the eggs, milk, vanilla, rum, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Heat skillet to medium heat, around 350 degrees F. Add butter. When the butter begins to sizzle, dip one sandwich at a time into batter and place into skillet. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and place decoratively on plate. Top with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Serve with your favorite syrup.
