8 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese

Cover cream cheese and buns with the remaining ½ of cubed hamburger buns.
Slice bananas and place on top of hamburger cubes in casserole dish.
In a large bowl, add eggs and egg whites and whisk.

Preheat oven to 375.
Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the casserole dish in the oven at the halfway point. Uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, again, rotating the casserole dish in the oven at the halfway point, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
