I'm sure everyone has done Brunch for Lunch or Brupper for Supper...essentially having what would normally be a breakfast item for one of those other meals... at some point, right?
I'm not usually big on big breakfasts. And I'm not usually big on having a heavy breakfast. But there's a recipe called Tonga Toast that's really really yummy. And it's worth it every once in a while. It's a feature at the Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Resort.
I'm so starving right now...I should not be looking at recipes...
Tonga Toast
2 or 4 slices sourdough bread, cut 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
1 banana
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Oil for frying
Whipped butter and/or syrup
Cut a 1-inch pocket in one side of each bread slice. Cut banana in half crosswise, then split each piece lengthwise. Remove peel and stuff two pieces of fruit in each pocket of bread; set aside. Mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Mix together well the egg, milk and vanilla.
Heat about 4 inches of oil in a pan to 350ยบ F. Dip stuffed bread into egg/milk mixture and let it soak a few seconds to let penetrate bread. Fry bread on both sides in hot oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels or wire rack. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve.
Seriously...yumatrocious. You just can't do this one every day if you don't want your arteries to harden.
Enjoy!
