Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 slices of your favorite sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or gluten-free)

Cheese

  • 2 to 3 slices or about 2 ounces of melty cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack)

Fruit

  • 1 ripe but firm banana, sliced thinly

Sweetener

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw or mild-flavored honey

Butter

  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, for spreading on bread exterior

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the banana into thin, even pieces and set aside. Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread buttered side down on a plate. Layer cheese generously on the unbuttered side, then evenly arrange banana slices on top. Drizzle a light amount of honey over the bananas. Close with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.
  3. Grill to Golden Perfection: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the bread is crisp and golden and the cheese has melted, blending smoothly with the banana and honey.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice in half and enjoy while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Choose a cheese that melts well to avoid clumpy texture in your sandwich.
  • Grill on medium heat to ensure even crispiness and proper cheese melting.
  • Use firm, ripe bananas to prevent mushiness during grilling.
  • Use honey sparingly to keep a balanced sweetness and avoid stickiness.
  • Spread butter evenly on the bread exterior for uniform golden color and crispiness.
