Elvis Presley's favorite peanut butter sandwich is loaded with peanut butter, banana, optional bacon and honey, and griddled until golden brown and gooey inside.
While Elvis is primarily known for being one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century, we can't ignore his namesake sandwich—the one with peanut butter, banana, and bacon all smashed together.
Nicknamed the "Elvis" sandwich, this collision of delicious indulgence is made up of ingredients that seem like they'd clash, but much like Elvis's music—a dynamic rockabilly fusion of heartfelt country and soulful rhythm and blues—they create something beautiful. The combo is sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy all at once.
Elvis was so tempted by the sound of this decadent sandwich that he flew everyone from Memphis to Denver in the middle of the night on his private jet. The sandwich didn't disappoint, and The King reportedly bought the recipe from the restaurant's owner and passed it on to W. Pauline Nicholson, his personal cook, and asked her to have one standing by at all times.
I've been racking my brain, and short of a few paid endorsements, I can't think of another celebrity so tied to a particular food as Elvis is with the peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich.Spread peanut butter evenly on one side of both slices of bread. Place banana slices on top of peanut butter in an even layer on one of the slices. Top with bacon slices, if using and drizzle with honey, if using.
