Tonga Toast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort – GEEK EATS Disney Recipe

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Sugar-Cinnamon

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Batter

• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/3 cup whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Tonga Toast

• 1 quart canola oil, for frying
• 1 loaf sourdough bread (uncut, 12 inches long)
• 2 large bananas, peeled

Instructions

For Sugar-Cinnamon: 

Mix sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl (large enough to roll toast) with a fork until thoroughly blended.  Set aside. 

For Batter: 

Whip eggs in medium bowl (large enough to dip toast) until well beaten. Add milk, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.   

For Tonga Toast: 

1. Using caution, preheat oil to 350°F in a large pot or a deep fryer. (If using a large pot, use a candy thermometer to make certain the oil does not get any hotter or it will burn.) 
2. Slice the bread into four three-inch-thick slices. 
3. Cut each banana in half crosswise, then each piece lengthwise. 
4. Place a bread slice flat on the counter and tear out just enough from the middle (do not tear all the way through) to stuff half a banana into; repeat with each bread slice. 
5. Dip stuffed bread into batter, covering both sides, allowing excess batter to drip off bread and place carefully into hot oil. 
6. Cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown. If needed, turn toast over after 2 minutes and cook for another 2 minutes on other side. Remove and drain excess oil. 
7. Roll toast in cinnamon-sugar. Repeat for each piece of toast.
