Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Finger bananas
- 120 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the finger bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Place the sliced bananas cut-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly caramelized. Flip the bananas and cook for another 2 minutes.
While the bananas cook, shred the cheddar cheese (or slice it thinly for easier melting).
Once the bananas are caramelized on both sides, remove them from the skillet and arrange them on an oven-safe dish, cut-side up.
Drizzle the bananas evenly with honey and sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.
Add a generous layer of cheddar cheese on the top of each banana piece.
Place the dish under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the dish from the oven and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this fusion of sweet and savory flavors!
