Buttery, golden-fried bread cradles creamy peanut butter and mashed banana in this iconic comfort sandwich. The crispy exterior gives way to warm, melting filling. Messy, indulgent, and best eaten with a fork. Pure nostalgia on a plate.

12 tablespoons peanut butter (preferably smooth)
12 slices white sandwich bread
11 small ripe banana, mashed with a fork (about 1/4 cup)

Instructions

Spread peanut butter evenly on 1 slice of bread, then spread mashed banana on other slice, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edge. Close sandwich, gently pressing bread slices together.
Heat butter in an 8- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then fry sandwich, turning over once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes total.
