How to Make Banana Bisque With Cinnamon Croutons

  1. Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and mix well.
  3. Add 1 cup of cubed bread to the cinnamon butter, tossing to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in the toaster oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the croutons bake, combine 3 ripe bananas, 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, and a pinch of ground nutmeg in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the banana bisque into chilled bowls or mugs.
  6. Top with the cinnamon croutons and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
