Elvis Presley's fried peanut butter and banana sandwich

MAKES 1 SERVING

1/2 of a small ripe banana
2 slices white bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

In a small bowl, mash banana with the back of a spoon or fork.

Lightly toast the bread.

Spread half of the butter on each piece of toast. Flip the bread over and spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the mashed banana on the other. Put the peanut butter and banana sides together and place sandwich in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook until golden, flip and repeat on other side. Serve hot.
