Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (your choice)
- Butter, softened (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- Honey, for drizzling (about 1-2 teaspoons)
- 2 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning the bread.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This buttered side will be grilled for a crispy, golden crust.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on the heated skillet. Layer the banana slices evenly over this bread to distribute the sweetness in every bite. Drizzle honey over the bananas for added flavor and sweetness. Next, place the cheese slices on top of the bananas, then cover with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
- Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, carefully flipping once the bottom is golden brown. Continue cooking until both sides are toasted to a rich golden color and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half diagonally or straight down the middle, then serve warm to enjoy the melty cheese and sweet flavor combination.
Notes
- Use a ripe but firm banana to prevent it from becoming mushy during cooking.
- Choose a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Swiss, or gouda, for the best texture.
- You can adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste preference.
- For a healthier option, use whole grain or multigrain bread and light butter or margarine.
