Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole grain sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 medium Bananas, ripe but firm
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting)
Instructions
Place the 8 slices of whole grain sandwich bread on a clean work surface.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth and fully combined.
Spread an even layer of the honey-cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
Arrange the banana slices evenly over half of the bread slices, layering them as needed to fully cover the surface.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey over the banana slices, and sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top.
Place the remaining cream cheese-coated bread slices on top of the banana-topped slices, cream cheese side facing down, to create 4 sandwiches.
Trim the crusts off each sandwich using a sharp knife for a clean, elegant presentation (optional).
Cut each sandwich into 4 small squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately as is, or lightly butter the outsides of the sandwiches and toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a warm, crispy variation.
