The Elvis Sandwich

Let’s be honest…as much as we all love the la-di-dah fine dining aspects of food, there are some instances when only claw-ripping, artery-clogging messy stuff will do. This is literally the KING of trashy comfort food….the Elvis Sandwich. You gotta hand it to the man, coming up with a sure-shot combination that would appeal across ages & generations for years to come, this sandwich sure occupies a spot on the Liberace` wall of gluttonous fame. So, without much ado, to paraphrase the King himself…”are you hungry tonight”?

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of white bread
• 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
• 1 small ripe banana mashed
• 2 tablespoons butter

Method:

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the mashed banana on the other. Press the slices gently together. Melt the butter (or to be truly Elvis-like, melt bacon fat!), over low heat in a small frying pan. Place the sandwich in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Enjoy with a cold beverage of your choice.

Mommy’s Tip: Elvis tended to eat 12-15 sandwiches a sitting! So strap on some vintage tunes & belly up folks !!!
