PB, B, AND L (PEANUT BUTTER, BACON, AND LETTUCE) SANDWICH (A BLT
When I was a kid, I was more picky about eating tomatoes on my sandwiches, and when my mom and younger sister and I got together to make up BLT's, I would sometimes leave off the tomato. Somewhere I learned that bacon was tasty with peanut butter, and so I started to eat bacon with peanut butter (I also eat bacon with maple syrup), and thus was born this new type of sandwich. Peanut butter (instead of mayo), lettuce, and bacon, on toast, and sandwiched together. I know it sounds a bit odd, but it's really yummy! I just wrote this out to serve 1 person, 1 sandwich. I like lots of bacon, and all my measurements are estimates, so please adjust accordingly to your taste/needs. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Although I should be eating turkey bacon instead of regular bacon, I have not yet tried this with turkey bacon.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Trim the sides (about 1/4") of the pound cake to make a flat, even surface. Discard the edges. Cut the pound cake into 10 even slices. Spread 1 side of 5 pound cake slices with half of the softened butter and then place them, butter-side down, on a piece of parchment paper. Spread a teaspoon of peanut butter on the inside of all 10 slices. Arrange the bananas over the pound cake slices on the parchment paper. Place 4 squares of the Hershey's chocolate on top of the banana. Top with the other 5 slices of pound cake and spread all the outside tops with the rest of the butter. Press together gently. Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the pound cake sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Gently flip the pound cake sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Place in the skillet in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the chocolate has softened. Remove the pan from the oven, place onto a cooling rack, and let it cool for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Drizzle maple syrup over top of bacon and egg and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping bacon to become coated in maple syrup.

- Remove from the oven. Stack bacon, egg and tomato on one bagel half, season tomato with salt and pepper. Finally add all dressed chips and top with the remaining bagel half, enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or rye bread. If you like a softer sandwich, you can also use white bread.
- Spread the peanut butter and jelly evenly: This will help prevent the sandwich from being too dry or too messy. If you are using a lot of jelly, you may want to spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the bread first to help keep the jelly from making the bread soggy.
- Add your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, such as sliced bananas, Nutella, honey, or marshmallows. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Grill or toast the sandwich: This will help to warm up the fillings and make the sandwich more gooey and delicious. If you are grilling the sandwich, be sure to use a little butter or cooking spray to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
