This unique sandwich features crispy bacon, creamy peanut butter, and banana slices, all served on wholesome whole-wheat bread.

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.

Bacon, banana and peanut butter on whole-wheat bread FAQ:

What is the best way to know when the bacon is fully cooked?

Bacon is fully cooked when it’s crispy and has reached a golden-brown color. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat, and ensure it's drained on a paper towel to remove excess grease.

How can I store leftover sandwiches?

If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave to warm it up before eating.

Can I substitute the peanut butter with another spread?

Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for different flavors. Just ensure it has a similar consistency for spreading.

What size skillet do I need to grill the sandwich?

A large skillet or griddle is recommended to fit the sandwich comfortably. Ensure it’s preheated over medium heat for even cooking.

How long do I cook the sandwich on each side?

Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.

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.
