Description
A warm, melty grilled sandwich made with peanut butter and banana, cooked until golden brown for a gooey, nostalgic comfort treat.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sturdy sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons smooth or crunchy peanut butter
- ½ ripe banana, sliced
- Butter for grilling (or mayo for a golden crust)
Instructions
- Spread peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread.
- Layer banana slices on top of the peanut butter.
- Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread.
- Butter the outside of both slices (or spread a thin layer of mayo).
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Grill the sandwich until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently for an even sear.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread like whole wheat, sourdough, or brioche for best results.
- Add honey, jelly, or Nutella for flavor variations.
- Cook banana slices before adding for a deeper caramel flavor.
- Best enjoyed fresh; reheating in a skillet maintains texture.
