Disney Shared Its Recipe For Tonga Toast From The Polynesian Resort

As Disney fans wait for the theme parks to reopen, the House of Mouse has been sharing a bunch of their most beloved recipes. The latest recipe to be released on the Disney Parks Blog si the popular Tonga Toast from Walt Disney World's Polynesian resort. If you've never tried this delicious menu item, it's best described as banana-stuffed sourdough bread, battered, deep-fried, and dusted with cinnamon-sugar. Is your mouth watering yet?

Tonga Toast is normally served at Kona Cafe andCapt. Cook’s at the Polynesian and has been on the menu there since 1971. While we all wait to order Tonga Toast IRL once again, we can try whipping up our own at home.

Here's what you'll need to make Disney's Tonga Toast:

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 

Here's the step-by-step 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. 

This recipe serves four people. Will you be giving it a try?
