Figue Vert (Green Banana) Gratin

Directions

Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese.

Place bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken stock will be absorbed).

Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small frypan and sauté onions until tender.

Add the onions, cream, beaten eggs to cooked bananas until combined; season with salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.

Mixture will be quite moist.

Place banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish .

Combine cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over top.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden.
