4.7 from 108 reviews

A delightful twist on the classic cheese sandwich, combining creamy melted cheese with sweet banana slices and a drizzle of honey for a warm, comforting treat perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 2 slices of bread (your choice of bread)
  • Butter, softened

Fillings

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • 2 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even cooking of the sandwich without burning.
  2. Butter the Bread: Spread a generous layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice, which will help create a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter side down on the hot skillet, forming the base of your sandwich.
  4. Layer the Banana: Evenly arrange the sliced banana over the bread on the skillet, adding a natural sweetness to the sandwich.
  5. Drizzle Honey: Lightly drizzle honey on top of the banana slices to enhance the flavor with a touch of floral sweetness.
  6. Add Cheese Slices: Place the cheese slices over the honey-drizzled bananas to allow them to melt and combine with the fruit.
  7. Top the Sandwich: Complete the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread on top, butter side up, ready for grilling.
  8. Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
  9. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly for about a minute before slicing it in half.
  10. Enjoy: Serve your honey banana grilled cheese sandwich warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

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.
