The King's Elvis Sandwich is a legendary combination of savory, sweet, and salty flavors inspired by the King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley. This unique sandwich features crispy bacon, creamy peanut butter, and banana slices, all served on wholesome whole-wheat bread. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast or a fulfilling snack, this sandwich will surely satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients:

3 bacon strips
36g
1.50 tbsp butter
22g
1 banana
140g
2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g
3 tbsp peanut butter
50g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
- In a medium skillet, cook the 3 bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. Prepare the Bread:
- While the bacon is cooking, spread 0.75 tablespoons of butter on one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds.
- Spread 1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread.
- Place the banana slices on top of the peanut butter on one of the slices of bread.
- Lay the cooked bacon strips evenly over the banana slices.
4. Grill the Sandwich:
- Carefully place the other slice of bread on top of the bacon, buttered side facing out.
- Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet or griddle.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the peanut butter has melted slightly.
5. Serve:
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute or two to cool slightly.
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling.

Tips:

- Crispy Bacon: For the crispiest bacon, cook the strips in a single layer in a frying pan over medium heat, turning them occasionally until they're evenly browned and crispy.

- Ripe Banana: Ensure the banana is ripe but not overripe. A perfectly ripe banana will add just the right amount of sweetness and be easy to slice.

- Butter Spread: To achieve a golden-brown crust, spread the butter evenly on the outside of each slice of whole-wheat bread before grilling.

- Peanut Butter: If you prefer a smoother texture, opt for creamy peanut butter. For extra crunch, choose chunky peanut butter.

- Grill It: Grill the sandwich on a hot skillet or griddle until both sides are golden brown and the peanut butter starts to melt, creating a warm and gooey center.

The King's Elvis Sandwich is a delightful and indulgent treat that offers the perfect balance of sweet and savory. It's a quick and easy recipe that will leave you feeling both satisfied and a little bit like royalty. Enjoy this iconic sandwich any time of the day for a taste of rock 'n' roll history.
