this recipe is not really hard to make.. keep the filo dough covered so it doesn't dry out on you... I think the caramel sauce puts it over the top .!!! the recipe is from the cookbook.....Chocolate for Breakfast Entertaining Menus to Start the Day with a Celebration From Napa Valley's Oak Knoll Inn by Barbara Passino Ingredients:
strudel ingredients |
2 tablespoons butter for the bananas |
4 bananas, peeled and split lengthwise |
8 sheets filo dough |
1/4 cup melted butter for the filo |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
caramel sauce ingredients |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon cognac |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and gently add the bananas. When the bottom of the banana is golden brown, turn it over and cook the other side.
3. Place a sheet of filo on your work surface. Brush it with melted butter and top with another sheet. Top that with butter and fold it in half. You shoud have a 4-layered piece measuring 6 x 8 inches.
4. Put two halves of grilled banana near the 6-inch edge. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Roll the bananas in the filo, then tuck in the edges and continue rolling. Place the package seam side down on a greased cookie sheet. Continue with the other three. Brush all four packages with more melted butter.
5. Bake for 12-14 minutes until they turn golden brown.
