Ingredients

• 6 pieces Finger bananas
• 120 grams Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the finger bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt completely.

Step 3

Place the sliced bananas cut-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are lightly caramelized. Flip the bananas and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

While the bananas cook, shred the cheddar cheese (or slice it thinly for easier melting).

Step 5

Once the bananas are caramelized on both sides, remove them from the skillet and arrange them on an oven-safe dish, cut-side up.

Step 6

Drizzle the bananas evenly with honey and sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.

Step 7

Add a generous layer of cheddar cheese on the top of each banana piece.

Step 8

Place the dish under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this fusion of sweet and savory flavors!
