As American citizens, I'm sure that a large percentage of us are aware of the King of Rock n' Roll's favorite sandwich -- peanut butter and bananas, some people think that bacon was thrown into the mix on the backdrop of two pieces of Wonder or white bread. Classic, right?
I thought for today's GCF, I would reinvent that classic and make it new and delish. If you strip the sandwich down to its basics, it is bread, a nut based creamy spread, a fruit, and a potential salty addition. Easy right? Here was one thought:
Instead of Wonder bread, lets use some nice Pullman bread. Next up, lets swap out peanut butter for almond butter and instead of bananas lets use some dried figs sliced thinly. In the event that bacon is thrown in there, lets use instead, Fourme d'Ambert. Hailing from the Auvergne region of France, this is a delish, creamy blue full of veining. Sweet, nutty, and smooth, impossible to go wrong with! It has a sufficient amount of salt to stand up to the sweetness of the dried figs and then creamyness of the almond butter. Heat your Elvis Sandwich reinvented and enjoy a truly yum snack or meal.
And another:
Lets use the same bread, Pullman, nice and thick, this is the perfect bread to absorb the creaminess of the nut based butters. Here's lets use hazelnut butter, richer, nuttier, and a little more piquant than say an almond or peanut butter. For our fruit, let's slice really thinly a granny smith apple which will play off the flavors of the hazelnut butter perfectly! Lastly, for our salty addition here, I think a nice fresh goat's milk chevre would be perfect. Milky, chalky, and creamy, great to play off the nuttiness of the hazelnut butter and the crisp, freshness of the apples! Bake Elvis Sandwich option two and enjoy!
Should you not like my two ideas, feel free to use my model and create your own.
Have a good night ladies and gents.
