Tonga Toast
Inspired by Capt. Cook's / Kona Cafe, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort
Banana-stuffed sourdough, battered and deep-fried, then rolled in cinnamon sugar. A Polynesian Resort classic worth the mess.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf sourdough bread, thick-cut and unsliced
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
- Cut the sourdough into 4 thick slices and carefully slice a pocket into the side of each.
- Stuff each pocket generously with sliced banana.

- Dip each stuffed slice fully in the batter, then deep-fry in oil at 350°F until golden on all sides.
