Instructions:
-
Fry Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into chunks. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the banana chunks and fry until golden brown on all sides. This should take a few minutes.
-
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking. Arrange the fried banana chunks evenly in the dish.
-
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the dark brown sugar and cottage cheese until well combined. If desired, sprinkle ground cinnamon into the mixture for added flavor.
-
Layer Cheese Mixture: Spread the cheese mixture generously over the arranged bananas in the baking dish. Ensure an even distribution to coat all the bananas.
-
Add Cream: Pour cream over the bananas until they are almost submerged. The cream will add richness and moisture to the dish as it bakes.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Place the baking dish with the banana and cheese mixture in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. The cream should not be completely absorbed, leaving a creamy sauce surrounding the bananas.
-
