- Cheese: 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
- Banana: 1 ripe banana, sliced
- Honey: 1 tablespoon of raw honey
- Butter: 1 tablespoon, softened
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat (about 350°F).
- Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet.
- Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on the bread, followed by the banana slices.
- Drizzle honey over the banana slices.
- Add the second slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bananas.

Notes
- This sandwich can be made ahead by preparing the banana and honey mixture and storing it in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
- For a vegan option, substitute cheese with vegan cheese and butter with coconut oil.
