Introduction

This Elvis-inspired twist on a classic sandwich stacks crispy bacon, creamy peanut butter, and sweet banana between golden brioche slices. It comes together in about 20 minutes and makes a indulgent yet approachable treat for breakfast or a fun lunch.

A toasted sandwich sits on a white plate, with two thick slices of bread that are golden brown and slightly darker at the edges. The inside shows creamy brown filling that melts and oozes out, with banana slices visible between the bread layers. The filling looks glossy and smooth, pooling a little at the plate’s rim, while the bread forms two sturdy, sandwich-like layers. The plate rests on a white marbled texture background, giving a clean, bright feel to the scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 slices thick cut bacon
2 large eggs (about 1 egg per slice)

1 tbsp butter
3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 ripe banana
2 tbsp maple syrup (for dipping or drizzling)

Step 2: Cook 10 to 12 minutes, flipping often, until crisp.
Step 3: Drain on a paper towel.
Step 4: Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl.

Step 6: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 7: Cook slices 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep golden.
Step 8: Spread peanut butter on one hot slice of French toast.
Step 9: Top with bacon.
Step 10: Halve the banana, then slice each half lengthwise.
Step 11: Lay banana over the bacon.
Step 12: Top with the second slice and press gently.
Step 13: Cut in half and serve with maple syrup if you like.

Tips & Variations

For extra sweetness, drizzle a little maple syrup over the assembled sandwich before serving.
Use almond butter or peanut butter with a touch of salt for a different flavor profile.
If you’re short on time, skip the dipping and toast the brioche slices longer for a crisper exterior.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven to restore crispness, then serve with a fresh drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

How to Serve

Two slices of thick, golden brown toasted bread are pressed together to make a grilled banana and peanut butter sandwich, with a creamy caramel color peanut butter oozing from the sides and banana slices peeking out between the halves. The top slice sits slightly askew, revealing a layered interior: bottom bread, a generous spread of peanut butter, a row of banana slices, another thin smear of peanut butter, and the second slice on top with a darker toasted surface. The sandwich rests on a white plate with a blue rim, set on a white marbled texture surface, with a few caramel drips and crumbs around the edge. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this in advance?

Assembled components can be prepared ahead: bake the bacon to crisp, whisk the eggs, and pre-slice the banana. Assemble and rewarm just before serving for best texture and flavor.

Can I substitute other breads or fillings?

Yes. A sturdy bread like sourdough or Texas toast works well. For fillings, try thinly sliced apples or a hint of cinnamon in the egg mix for a different twist.
