Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices high-quality multigrain country bread
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
8 teaspoons sugar
2 very ripe bananas, peeled and thinly sliced
4 large pinches ground cinnamon
4 pinches ground ginger
4 pinches fleur de sel
8 teaspoons sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon lemon zest for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Place four bread slices on a work surface, butter-and-sugar side down. Place bananas in equal portions on the slices, leaving a 1/4-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.
  • 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.
