You can grill this recipe in a skillet like a traditional grilled cheese, but we love using our pie iron to make a perfectly toasted sandwich.

Ingredients
cooking spray
1 Tbsp 1 mayonnaise* (optional)
2 Tbsp 2 peanut butter
2 slices 2 bread
1 1 medium banana, thinly sliced
Directions
- Generously spray pie iron with cooking spray.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on BOTH slices of bread. (Optional: Thinly spread mayonnaise on back sides of bread for better toasting.)
- Place one slice of bread dry-side or mayonnaise-side down in pie iron.
- Layer banana slices, leaving space along the edges for the pie iron to seal the sandwich.
- Close the pie iron over the sandwich. Trim any excess bread and wipe away any excess peanut butter.
- Cook your sandwich for 4 to 7 minutes, turning pie iron halfway, until the bread is golden brown. For best results, keep the pie iron in a hot area of coals, but not the hottest area. Otherwise, the bread might burn before the filling is warmed.
- Carefully remove the sandwich from the pie iron.
- Cook on Grill Alternative: Preheat the grill on medium heat (300 to 400 degrees). Place pie iron directly on the grill and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown

Notes
- Mayonnaise results in a better-toasted sandwich (even better than butter). It adds a bit more crispiness to balance out the soft PB & banana filling.
