Instructions
For Strawberry Compote
- Combine strawberries, coconut milk, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For Cinnamon Sugar
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl (large enough to roll toast) with a fork until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
For Batter
- Whip eggs in a medium bowl (large enough to dip toast) until well beaten. Add milk, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
For Tonga Toast
- With caution, preheat oil to 350°F in a large pot or deep fryer. (If using a large pot, use a candy thermometer to ensure the oil does not get any hotter, or it will burn.)
- Slice bread into four 3-inch-thick slices.
- Cut each banana in half crosswise and then again lengthwise.
- One at a time, place each bread slice flat on the counter and tear out just enough from the middle (do not tear all the way through) to stuff two banana quarters into.
- Dip stuffed bread into batter, covering both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off the bread and place carefully into hot oil.
- Cook 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown, turning toast once. Remove and drain excess oil.
- One at a time, roll each piece of toast in cinnamon sugar.
- Serve with chilled strawberry compote.
