Bananas Foster Recipe (Grilled Cheese)

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and brown sugar. Heat thoroughly and stir with a spoon for a couple of minutes. It will begin to bubble and start to look like a caramel sauce. Peel and slice the bananas in half, length-wise, and add them to the pan face-down. Cook the bananas on each side for a couple of minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Sprinkle with cinnamon at the very end.
Remove from pan immediately, and pour extra sauce over top. Set aside and allow to cool.
In a small bowl combine softened butter, sugars, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
To assemble, place cut pieces of brie cheese on top of two slices of bread, covering as much surface area as you can.
Evenly distribute the caramelized bananas on top of the brie cheese layer. Spread the mascarpone cheese on top of the other two of the bread slices. Set face-down on top of the brie + banana layers. Spread a nice amount of the cinnamon-sugar butter on the top of each layered sandwich.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the assembled sandwiches, on the buttered side. Cover with a lid, and cook for 3 – 4 minutes until golden brown. Before flipping, spread the rest of the cinnamon-sugar butter on the other side. Flip, and allow to cook for another 2 – 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve immediately with whipping cream, powdered sugar, and freeze-dried strawberries.
