 Categories: Fruits, Cheese/eggs
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      3 lb Green bananas                       1 x  Salt
      2 c  Chicken Stock                       1 x  Ground Nutmeg
      2 tb Butter                              1 pn Cinnamon
      1 ea Small Onion, chopped                1 c  Grated Cheddar Cheese
      1 c  Light cream or milk               1/2 c  Fresh Bread Crumbs
      2 ea Eggs, beaten                   
 
  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 saute 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 for 35 - 40 minutes or until top is golden.
  Serves 4 - 6.
