How to Make Bananas Au Gratin

1. Preheat your broiler.
2. In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the cheese mixture into a shallow 7-by-12-inch glass baking dish or divide evenly among 8 individual au gratin dishes.
4. Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the cheese mixture in the baking dish or individual dishes. If using individual dishes, use about half a banana per dish.
5. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the bananas.
6. Lightly dust with cinnamon.
7. Place the baking dish (or individual dishes) under the preheated broiler. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the bananas are heated through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
