Instructions

  1. Combine cream cheese and mascarpone in a small bowl.

  4. Add banana; cook and toss, constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until banana is well coated. Remove from the heat. Transfer banana and sauce to a bowl. Cool slightly. Wipe out the pan.
  5. Spread mascarpone mixture on bread slices. Layer banana mixture on one bread slice. Sprinkle with salt. Top with remaining bread slice mascarpone side down. Dip sandwich into egg mixture, coating each side.
