Notes

• You can substitute the banana with other fruits like apple slices or pears for a different fruity flavor.
• Use any bread type preferred, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free to suit dietary needs.
• For a vegan version, replace butter with plant-based margarine and use vegan cheese slices.
• Adjust the amount of honey based on sweetness preference or omit it for a less sweet sandwich.
• Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
