The Fat Elvis Sandwich

Okay, so we changed one ingredient.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (we used whole grain, you're supposed to use Hawaiian.)
  • 3 slices thick cut bacon, cooked and patted dry
  • peanut butter
  • 1 banana, sliced and grilled (possibly in bacon fat) until caramelized on both sides.


Cook bacon and banana as instructed above. Put peanut butter on the sandwich, followed by bacon and then bananas. Put the sandwich back on the griddle and toast lightly. Serve.

Thoughts: Not much needs to be said about this. Claire put a lot of peanut butter on, which, she evinced, drowned out the bacon flavor too much. In the future, she would use more bacon (or less peanut butter). I thought it could use a spot of jelly or possibly honey, though that might be fixed by using hawaiian bread.

Also this was FANTASTIC. Although I would say it has an artery disaster index of more like 3-7/10, depending on how you make it / whether you fry EVERYTHING in bacon fat (including the sandwich) or nothing.

Disaster Index: 1/10
