Elvis Presley's Famous Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

 

In memory of Elvis Presley who died on this day, I made his famous Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich for lunch. I tell you it's GOOD but a rich sandwich.

 

 

2 slices white bread

2 tablespoons butter

1 small ripe banana

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Directions

Place 2 pieces of white bread in the toaster on a light setting. Heat skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons butter. While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, using a fork mash the ripe banana until it reaches a smooth consistency or slice the banana into chips.

 

Using a knife, take both pieces of the toasted bread and spread 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, topping 1 side with the mashed banana or banana chips. Place 1 slice of bread on top of the other forming a sandwich. 

 

Place sandwich in hot skillet browning each side, flipping with a spatula, about 2 minutes per side. Take out of skillet, slice on a diagonal and serve on a plate. 

 

OR:

 

Smear peanut butter on one slice of bread, top with mashed banana or banana slices and top with the other slice of bread. Butter both sides of the sandwich. 

Heat a skillet to medium heat and place the sandwich into the skillet. Brown both sides of the sandwich. Serve warm and enjoy!
