Yes, you bet I said Disney’s Tonga Toast!
If you haven’t had a chance to try Tonga Toast at Disney’s Polynesian Resort you are in for a real treat!
A Popular Walt Disney World Breakfast food!
I have figured out how to make this delicious super popular breakfast entrée. This is available at Disney’s Kona Cafe and Captain Hooks food court at the Polynesian Resort. Since we only visit Walt Disney World but a few times a year I a super excited to be able to cook it at home. The best part is I made it via the air fryer! One of my favorite kitchen appliances next to my Instant Pot. That means it’s even healthier than the original that is deep-fried goodness.
Now this recipe is how to make one Tonga toast but the egg mixture can accomodate a couple. Just repeat the construction of the bread and bananas. It will probably make 3 or 4 total. I like to buy my pre cut brioche bread at Aldi’s but you can certainly use a bakery bread and slice it thick 2″ and make a pocket instead to stuff the banana’s in to as well.
This happens to be one of my favorite breakfast foods at Walt Disney World!
I own a few Disney Parks cookbooks new and old and I love reading them, especially the recipes from restaurants that are no longer there. Although I didn’t find this one in them I hope to try out of few later.
So let me know when you make this and I will be right over for breakfast!

Notes
The bread I used was from Aldi's. This recipe can make several servings. If not using pre cut bread you can cut it thick to 2" and make a pocket and stuff banana's inside as well.
