Today marks the 75th birthday of the "King of Rock and Roll". Very few celebrities world wide are impersonated to the extent that Elvis Presley is impersonated. From "Jailhouse Rock" to "Viva Las Vegas" I've enjoyed many of his songs and movies. He had a wonderfully smooth, captivating voice. Did you know that Elvis won a Grammy Award for his recording of a gospel album entitled "How Great Thou Art"? He honed his voice in little country churches and hanging around radio stations and juke joints. Why not celebrate Elvis' birthday by experiencing what's reported to be Elvis' all time favorite sandwich? It tastes better than you may think! There are different versions, but this is my twist on the sandwich. Hmmm good! "I'm All Shook Up"!
Elvis Sandwich with a Twist
4 1 inch slices of french bread
1 1/2 T butter
1 egg slightly beaten
pinch of nutmeg
1 peeled sliced banana
4 slices turkey bacon
Crunchy peanut butter
Heat butter in skillet until bubbly. Be careful not to burn it. Place slices of french bread in slightly beaten egg, turning to coat both sides. Place bread into sizzling butter browning approximately 2-3 minutes. Turn and heat for additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove bread from skillet to a plate. Spread one side of bread slices with crunchy peanut butter, add sliced bananas and bacon slices. Top with second slice of bread. Makes two sandwiches.
