Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon honey or cinnamon for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread peanut butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. If desired, drizzle honey or sprinkle cinnamon over the peanut butter for added flavor.
- Add banana slices: Arrange the banana slices evenly over one slice of peanut buttered bread. Then place the second slice on top, peanut butter side down, to form the sandwich.
- Butter the outside: Spread softened butter on the outside surfaces of both bread slices to ensure a crisp, golden crust when grilled.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the peanut butter has melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use brioche or whole wheat bread for extra flavor and texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine.
- Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey enhances the sweetness and flavor complexity.
- Ensure the skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning while allowing the peanut butter to melt properly.
- To make it extra crunchy, you can toast the sandwich on low heat a little longer.
