1 |
Spray with BAKING SPRAY a 9-inch deep-dish pie
plate and one side of a 12-inch square of aluminum
foil |
|
2 |
Cook bananas with 4 tablespoons butter in a
medium skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Sprinkle in 2
tablespoons brown sugar and cook until sugar melts and coats bananas. Set
aside. |

Beat the milk, cream, eggs, yolk, 1/3 cup
granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and remaining 4 tablespoons
brown sugar together. |
|
4 |
Spread 2 TBSP of butter on the bread, cut each
diagonally so they fit in the pie pan easily and layer up with the
bananas |
|
5 |
Heat oven to 325. Pour on the batter and let it
soak up for a few minutes (can do the night before if you use stale bread)
- when oven is hot cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes - uncover and
bake for 25 more. Let cool a little before serving - I like to sprinkle
with powdered
sugar. |

Messy Hot Meatball
Burger
Ingredients
|
|
|
Process 1 |
Mince the garlic in a food processor |
|
2 |
Remove 2 tsp of garlic and put in a large bowl |
|
3 |
add butter to processor bowl and mix |
|
4 |
to prep remaining ingredients: chop scallions - will
have about 1/3 cup, place in a small bowl. Chop tomatoes - I like to use
my mandolin to slice and then chop, but not necessary and put in large
bowl with the reserved 2 tsp of garlic. Chop the basil, put 1/4 cup in a
one bowl and 2 Tbsp in another. Chop the oregano, place 2 Tbsp in the bowl
with the 1/4 cup of basil and 2 tsp with the 2 Tbsp of basil. |
|
5 |
In another large bowl (can use your stand mixer if you
like) combine the ground beef, panko, the contents of the bowl with the 2
Tbsp of basil and 2 Tsp of oregano, and the salt, pepper and red pepper
flakes. Mix with a fork or the paddle to combine. Divide into even piles
on a sheet tray and from into slightly oblong patties (to fit the Italian
bread) Don't work the meat too much - make a shallow dimple in the center
of each with your thumb. Refrigerate until ready to grill. |
|
6 |
To prep the bread - slice 12 1/2in slices and spread
one side liberally with the garlic butter |
|
7 |
Preheat your grill to 450 or 500. |
|
8 |
On the side burner on medium heat - cook the shallots
for five minutes, turn up to high and add contents of the bowl with
tomatoes and garlic. Cook for a couple minutes and then add the pinot
grigio. Continue to cook on high until almost all the liquid is gone, then
turn to low. |
|
9 |
Start the burgers when you add the pinot grigio -
quickly put on the grill and close - turn heat down to medium low. Let
cook for 5 minutes. |
|
10 |
Flip the burgers - close the grill again. Add the
basil and oregano to the pan with the tomatoes etc. |
|
11 |
After 5 minutes, put the burgers on the top warming
rack on the grill and place a slice of cheese on each. Put the bread on
the grill non-buttered side first - grill for a couple minutes to toast.
Flip and cook the other side - looking for dark golden brown - on my grill
it is a couple minutes per side. |
|
12 |
Assemble the bugers: Buttered side on the plate spread
1.5 Tbsp of the tomato sauce on the bread, add a burger - peel back the
cheese and layer 1 Tbsp more of the sauce on the burger and place the
cheese back over it and "seal" it on. Top with another slice of bread -
buttered side up. Slice on a slight diagonal. |
