ADAPTED FROM AMERICA’S 100 BEST SANDWICHES BY JANE AND MICHAEL STERN
September 2005
Reportedly one of the King’s favorite foods, this indulgent treat has a crisp, toasty exterior and a warm-smooth filling. Rumor has it he sometimes added bacon, but we’ll leave that decision to you.
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (preferably smooth)
- 2 slices white sandwich bread
- 1 small ripe banana, mashed with a fork (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons butter
-
Spread peanut butter evenly on 1 slice of bread, then spread mashed banana on other slice, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edge. Close sandwich, gently pressing bread slices together.
-
Heat butter in an 8- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then fry sandwich, turning over once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes total.
-
Eat immediately with a knife and fork.
