Ingredients
- 8slices high-quality multigrain country bread
- 6tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 8teaspoons sugar
- 2very ripe bananas, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4large pinches ground cinnamon
- 4pinches ground ginger
- 4pinches fleur de sel
- 8teaspoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1tablespoon lemon zest for garnish (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat a sandwich griddle or a large skillet on medium-high. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice, using equal portions butter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar evenly over each side.
- Step 2
Place four bread slices on a work surface, butter-and-sugar side down. Place bananas in equal portions on the slices, leaving a ¼-inch border. Sprinkle a large pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of ginger and a pinch of fleur de sel on each slice, and then drizzle 2 teaspoons condensed milk over the slice.
- Step 3
Top each sandwich with a slice of bread, butter-and-sugar side up. Transfer sandwiches to griddle and cook until edges are crisp and well browned and sandwiches are warmed through, about 4 minutes. (Alternatively, cook sandwiches in skillet, using a large spatula to gently compress them and brown them evenly, about 2 minutes on each side.) Garnish with lemon zest, and serve hot.
