Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 banana
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 1 slice of sandwich ham
- 1 tbsp blueberry jam (can be substituted with strawberry jam, peanut butter, etc.)
- A little butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Peel the banana, leaving about one-third of the peel on one side to help hold it together. Slice the banana into roughly 1cm thick rounds. (Leaving a bit of peel on can make slicing easier without the banana falling apart.)
Step 2
Melt a little butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Place the bread slices in the pan and toast them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This butter-toasted bread adds a wonderful nutty flavor.
Step 3
Place one slice of the toasted bread on a cutting board. Spread the blueberry jam evenly over one side of the bread. The jam adds a touch of sweetness and tartness that pairs beautifully with the banana. (Feel free to use strawberry jam, raspberry jam, or even peanut butter for a different flavor profile.)
Step 4
On top of the jam-covered bread, lay down the slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 5
Arrange the sandwich ham neatly over the cheese. The savory ham will balance the sweetness of the banana perfectly.
Step 6
Next, place the sliced banana rounds on top of the ham, covering the surface evenly. The creamy sweetness of the banana is a key element of this sandwich.
Step 7
Finally, place the second slice of toasted bread on top to complete the sandwich. Gently press down to help the fillings settle.
Step 8
Slice the sandwich in half, either straight across or diagonally, for easy eating. Your delicious banana cheese ham sandwich is now ready to enjoy! It pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.
