Crispy Grilled Peanut Butter Banana Delight (Print version)
A hot, crispy grilled peanut butter banana sandwich with gooey filling and golden bread, ready in about 10 minutes.
# Ingredients:
For the sandwiches
01 -
4 slices soft white sandwich bread or brioche
02 -
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
03 -
1 medium ripe banana, thinly sliced
04 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, for the outside of the bread
05 -
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
06 -
Flaky salt, optional, for finishing
# Instructions:
01 -
Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Place the slices mayo-side down on a board.
02 -
Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter on the dry side of each bread slice, reaching close to the edges.
03 -
Arrange the banana slices over two of the peanut-buttered slices in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon if using.
04 -
Top with the remaining bread slices, peanut butter side down, so the mayonnaise is on the outside of each sandwich.
05 -
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is crisp and golden and the filling is warm.
06 -
Let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute, then slice. Finish with a tiny pinch of flaky salt if desired and serve warm.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served right after grilling while the bread is crisp.
02 -
Use a ripe banana with a few brown spots for the sweetest filling.
