Bananas with Melting Cheese and Chocolate or Cinnamon

This is a very simple dish that we make in the Northeast of Brazil. We call it "Cartola", whose ipsis litteris translation would be  "Top Hat". We usually eat it for dinner, together with some other things (bread, milk, coffee), or as a snack. 
The traditional version has cinnamon, but I am not very fond of cinnamon, so I use chocolate powder instead (this is chocolate in my photos). The amount of cinnamon to be used should be just a little sprinkle.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
1 tablespoon butter, or less in a non-stick pan
cheese slices: cheddar, mozzarella or another that will melt easily (shredded cheese is fine)
chocolate powder (Nesquick) or cinnamon
sugar to taste

Preparation:

Cut bananas in half lengthwise. Melt butter in skillet. Place half bananas side by side, let them fry until golden in lower side.

Flip carefully, they will be so soft they may break apart.

 

Place the cheese on top of bananas so it covers all of them. Fry a little bit more. If the cheese slices are too thick, cover the pan, turn off the heat and wait for the cheese to melt.

Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with chocolate powder or cinnamon, and sugar.

Here I used a Mexican blend of shredded cheeses (cheddar, Monterrey jack and colby), the taste was great.
