Tonga Toast (Polynesian)

[dvcjane]

Tonga Toast is a delicious Banana stuffed french toast served in the Polynesian resort

2 or 4 slices sourdough bread cut 1 inch thick
1 banana
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
oil for frying
whipped butter if desired
Maple syrup if desired

Depending on the size of the bread slices, cut a 1 inch pocket in one side of the bread slice.
Cut banana in half crosswise, then split each piece lengthwise. Remove peel and stuff 2 pieces in each pocket, again depending on size. Set aside.
Mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Mix egg, milk and vanilla until well blended.
Heat about 4 inches of oil in a pan to 350 F.
Dip stuffed bread into egg mixture, allowing it to soak in for a few minutes.
Fry in hot oil until lightly brown, turning to brown both sides.
Drain on paper towels on cake rack.
Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and serve at once. Top as desired.

You can also get tonga toast in Capt Cooks at the Poly. It's cheaper and may be a smaller portion.

well then go ahead and get the big portion. It's really yummy but too sweet for me.

They also serve something similar at the Rainforest Cafe for breakfast. I like it better over there.
