Preparation

Step 1

Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow dipping bowl large enough to fit a slice of bread. Set aside.
Whisk eggs with milk in a second shallow dipping bowl. Set aside.
Mix strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Peel each banana. Slice each banana in half at the middle; slice each half into halves lengthwise. You should now have 12 banana pieces: two for each stuffed toast serving.
Slice 1/2 inch off each end of the loaf and discard. Slice remaining bread into six, 2-inch slices. Cut a slit into the side of each slice; pull out a bit of the interior bread to make a little space for the two banana pieces. Insert two banana pieces into each hollowed sliced of bread. Dip stuffed bread into egg wash on both sides. Deep fry at 350 degrees for one minute: turn toast over and fry for another minute. Remove fried toast to a paper-towel-lined platter. Dip finished toast in cinnamon sugar to coat. Repeat process until all bread is fried and sugared. Serve toast with macerated strawberries and a dollop of yogurt.
