Disney Tonga Toast - Kids Weekend

The picture doesn't show the strawberries or syrup but trust me you don't want to eat it without it!

You can only find Tonga Toast at the Coma Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Resort. I have had this stuff and it is French Toast on steroids, it is delicious!

What you will need for the Strawberry Compote:

1 1/2c chopped strawberries

3T sugar

1T lemon juice

1tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Toast:

1 loaf white bread, unsliced

2 bananas, sliced

4 large eggs

1c heavy cream

1T sugar

1tsp cinnamon

1tsp pure vanilla extract

veggie oil, for frying

1c cinnamon sugar

sliced strawberries for serving

maple syrup for serving

(Told you, it's on steroids)

Directions:

Make the strawberry compote; in a small skillet over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture has thickened slightly, it takes about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, gently mash the compote with the back of a fork (or a potato masher).

Slice bread into 3-4 very thick pieces. Use a knife to create a slit in one side of the toast, then stuff banana slices into the toast. Repeat with remaining bread pieces and bananas.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Dunk each stuff sliced into the batter mixture, tossing to coat all sides.

Pour 1/4” of veggie oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot add the battered bread and cook until crispy and golden all over. About 2 minutes per side.

Drain toast briefly on a wire rack or a paper towel. Pour cinnamon sugar into a large shallow bowl and then gently shake off excess oil from warm toast and toss in the cinnamon sugar.

Garnish with fresh strawberries and serve with strawberry compote and maple syrup.
