Tonga Toast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort –The Ultimate Mother’s Day Breakfast Treat

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:

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.)

Slice the bread into four three-inch-thick slices.

Cut each banana in half crosswise, then each piece lengthwise.

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.

Dip stuffed bread into batter, covering both sides, allowing excess batter to drip off bread and place carefully into hot oil.

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.

Roll toast in cinnamon-sugar. Repeat for each piece of toast.
