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.
