Tonga Toast
Kona Cafe - Polynesian Resort

Ingredients:
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 or shortening for frying
whipped butter and/or syrup

Instructions:

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 2 pieces of fruit in each pocket of bread; set aside.

Mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Mix well the egg, milk and vanilla.

Heat about 4 inches of oil in a pan to 350 degrees F.  Dip stuffed bread into egg/milk mixture and let it soak a few seconds to 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.
