1 cup pistachios
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 vanilla bean
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
8 slices rye bread, crust removed
pistachio paste
Gefen Canola Oil, for frying
1 banana, diced
juice of 1 Meyer lemon
1 teaspoon sugar
5 leaves fresh mint, julienned
1/2 chocolate bar, zested
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread pistachios on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over high heat, combine water, sugar, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil. Add pistachios to syrup, reduce heat to low, and cook for one hour, stirring occasionally.
Allow syrup to cool. Puree and set aside.
Whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to form a batter.
Spread a tablespoon of paste over each slice of bread and top with an additional piece of bread. Dip sandwich in batter until soaked through.
Heat oil in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add pieces of bread and cook on both sides until golden brown. Remove and allow to drain on paper towels.
Combine the first four ingredients. Sprinkle bananas with chocolate zest and serve with pistachio French toast.
