Okay, you can officially say that you’ve “seen it all” now! This recipe was so different, so astonishing that I just had to give it a try. Based on the results, it is now a part of my permanent recipe collection.

I think that this would appeal to all members of your family, even your picky eaters, because of the sweet elements. The adults will appreciate the rich sophistication of the mascarpone cheese. The contrast of the sweetness with the slight saltiness of the uttered bread kept me coming back, bite-after-bite.

But, I don’t think I will be serving this routinely. The price of mascarpone cheese is pretty high, so I will save this for special occasions and celebrations.

 

INGREDIENTS

3 tsp butter, softened

2 slices bread

½ banana, peeled and sliced

3 tsp mascarpone cheese

1 tsp honey

 

DIRECTIONS

Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.

On the non-buttered side, add toppings and cover with other slice of buttered bread. The buttered side should be facing outwards.

Heat a skillet to medium-high heat. Grill each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. Cut in half and enjoy hot!

Quick Tip:  This same filling would make an excellent stuffed French toast. The addition of a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg (or pumpkin or apple pie spice mix) would make it that much more tasty.
