Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Sliced white bread
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 pieces Ripe banana
- 2 strips Cooked crispy bacon
- 1 tablespoon Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds, then evenly layer the banana slices on one of the peanut buttered slices of bread.
Lay the cooked crispy bacon strips over the banana slices.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the bacon and bananas for a sweet Filipino-inspired touch.
Place the other slice of bread on top, peanut butter side facing the filling, to make a sandwich.
Spread butter evenly on the outside of both slices of bread to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sprinkle a light layer of sugar (about 1 teaspoon) onto the skillet where the sandwich will sit. This will create a caramelized crust.
Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side, ensuring even caramelization and crispness.
Remove from the skillet, let it sit for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
