The Elvis

Elvis was famous for music, movies, Graceland and of course his love of certain foods. One of his all times favorites was the peanut butter and banana sandwich (with and without bacon). While not the inventor of said sandwich, he is credited for making it popular. I had a mental block on making this for the longest time because bananas and bread sounded like an odd pairing. But the fates beckoned me to try it – I had peanut butter but was low on jelly so why not an Elvis? It’s actually really tasty and as easy as it sounds.

Put peanut butter on one side of bread. I used Peanut Butter and Company’s White Chocolate Wonderful. On the other side add slices or mashed bananas. I found about half a banana adequate. Put the two slices together. Warm up a pan to medium low. Add a touch of butter to it. Place sandwich on the pan. Cook until golden brown on either side. Enjoy hot.
