Anybody made Tonga Toast?

[mooses41]

I got the recipe for Tonga Toast but I don't understand how you can cut a 1 inch pocket in a slice of bread that is 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Can anybody help??

Can you share the recipe with us? Thanks!

I think what they mean is for you to cut an opening into the side of the bread thats 1 inch long. Cut it into the crust of each slice. At least that's what I remember from when I ate it there.

I made it many times for the holidays. I always get the big loaf of sourdough bread.

That's the kind of bread that the recipe called for from the Poly


Here's the recipe I got

2 or 4 slices sourdough bread, cut 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
1 banana
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
oil for frying
whipped butter/syrup

Cut 1 inch pocket in one side of each bread slice. Cut banana in half crosswise, then split each piece lenghwise. Remove peel and stuff 2 pieces of fruit in each pocket of bread; set aside. Mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Mix well the egg, milk and vanilla.

Heat about 4 inches of oil in a pan to 350 degrees. Dip stuffed bread into egg mixture and let it soak for a few seconds to let penetrate bread. Fry bread on both sides in hot oil .


I just slice a pocket down the inside of the bread and stuff the banana in there(try to hide it).
I then fry it in electric fryer with NEW oil.
