Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas, sliced evenly
  • 4 slices mild cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar), shredded or thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread or rustic loaf
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened for spreading

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the bananas evenly to ensure consistent sweetness and texture. Shred or slice the cheese thinly to help it melt quickly and evenly.
  2. Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter lightly on one side of each bread slice; this side will make contact with the skillet and become golden and crispy.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a warm skillet. Layer cheese pieces evenly, then banana slices, and drizzle honey on top. Cover with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
  4. Grill Until Golden and Melty: Cook over medium-low heat, allowing the cheese to melt completely while preventing the bread from burning. Flip carefully once the bottom is golden brown and cook the other side until toasted.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Transfer the sandwich to a plate once both sides are toasted and the cheese is melted. Slice and enjoy immediately to savor the sweet and savory combination.

Notes

  • Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
  • Choose ripe but slightly firm bananas to hold their shape and prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t overfill the sandwich to keep it easy to handle and eat.
  • A non-stick pan helps keep the sandwich intact and eases cleanup.
  • Allow the sandwich to rest for a minute before cutting to let the cheese set slightly.
