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 on one side of each bread slice. If desired, add honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the peanut butter for added sweetness and flavor.
- Add banana slices: Arrange the banana slices evenly over the peanut buttered side of one bread slice, then carefully place the other slice on top with the peanut butter side facing down to form the sandwich.
- Butter the outside: Spread softened butter on the outside of both slices of bread, ensuring an even coating to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when grilling.
- 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 inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Use brioche or whole wheat bread for added flavor and texture.
- Feel free to substitute peanut butter with other nut butters if preferred.
- Adding honey or cinnamon enhances the sandwich but is optional.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread while ensuring the peanut butter melts inside.
- Serve immediately for warm, melty goodness.
