Ingredients:
3 lbs green plantains, or other green bananas, peeled
salt
2 cups chicken stock
ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch cinnamon
1 small onions, chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup light cream or 1 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
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 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.
