NUTELLA BANANA BRUSCHETTA

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 1 small loaf whole-wheat French bread
• 1/2 jar Nutella
• 1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1-2 Tbsp brown sugar
• Sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the broiler or, if your oven doesn't have a broiler, heat oven to 450°F.

Heat a dry nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat.

Cut the bread 1/4 inch thick on an angle to make long, thin slices. Toast the bread in the frying pan for 2 minutes on each side, until lightly toasted. Remove from the pan and set on a tray or counter top.

Smear each slice of bread on one side with a bit of Nutella. Top each with 3-4 slices of banana. Sprinkle on a tiny bit of brown sugar. Place the bread slices on a sheet pan, and put the pan under the broiler for a minute or longer, depending on the strength of your broiler (mine is infrared, so it takes less than a minute), until the sugar is just melted.

Remove sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle each bruschetta with sea salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
