Elvis French Toast With Pb Bacon Banana Food

PEANUT BUTTER, BACON & BANANA STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat (or bake in the oven, if you prefer!) until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain grease.
• In a shallow dish, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
• Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each of the 8 slices of bread. Top 4 of the slices with a layer of banana slices, followed by 3 of the bacon slices. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, dip your stuffed French toast into the egg mixture - dip both sides - and place in the skillet. Do this in batches if necessary, adding more butter for each batch if needed. Cook each side until browned and crisp before turning and repeating on the other side. This can take 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your burner's temperature. Low and slow is better than fast and burnt.
• Remove to a plate and drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar (I used a sifter to sprinkle it on). Top with extra banana slices, if you like!

ELVIS PRESLEY'S FRIED PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place 2 pieces of white bread in the toaster on a light setting. Heat skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons butter. While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, using a fork mash the ripe banana until it reaches a smooth consistency. Using a knife, take both pieces of the toasted bread and spread 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, topping 1 side with the mashed banana. Place 1 slice of bread on top of the other forming a sandwich. Place sandwich in hot skillet browning each side, flipping with a spatula, about 2 minutes per side. Take out of skillet, slice on a diagonal and serve on a plate.

Steps:

• Spread each bread slice with 1 Tbsp. peanut butter. Top half the bread slices with 1 Tbsp. each bacon and bananas; cover with remaining bread slices. Lightly press edges together to seal.
• Whisk eggs, milk and vanilla in pie plate until blended.
• Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, in egg mixture, turning to evenly moisten both sides of each sandwich.
• Spray large heavy skillet with cooking spray; heat on medium heat. Add sandwiches; cook 2 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle with sugar.

THE ELVIS PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BURGER

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over medium heat. Butter the inside slices of each burger bun, then toast in the skillet until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over low heat; pan-fry the bacon for 2 minutes, then increase heat to medium-high and continue to pan-fry until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes, turning often. Drain on paper towels and discard most of the bacon grease.
• Cut each banana lengthwise into long slices, about 4 inches in length. Pour the sugar into a small bowl, then add in the banana slices to coat both sides in sugar. Fry the banana slices in the same skillet over medium heat until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cook the burgers on a griddle over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, seasoning with salt and pepper. Press down firmly with a spatula to flatten the patties as they cook. A thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
• To assemble the burgers, lay down the bottom half the burger bun and spread on 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Place a burger patty on top, then add another tablespoon of peanut butter. Top with 2 to 3 slices of caramelized bananas, then 2 to 3 pieces of bacon. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon honey, then place the remaining burger bun on top.
