Ingredients
1 banana
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 slices brioche or sourdough bread
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. Slice the banana into thin rounds. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the banana slices for 2–3 minutes until softened and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
3. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer mozzarella, caramelized banana slices, and a drizzle of honey.
4. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
5. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Slice in half and serve warm.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy.
For extra depth, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the banana while caramelizing.
To make it a brunch star, pair with coffee or a side of fresh fruit.
