The Vegan Elvis

The Vegan Elvis Sandwich

Even if you’ve never had one, you’ve surely heard of The Elvis Sandwich… Peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Until last week I certainly hadn’t tried one, and if I’m being honest I have no idea what inspired to create a vegan version (oh wait, it was probably that stuff that’s legal here?!) but regardless, here it is: The Vegan Elvis Sandwich, with creamy peanut butter, fresh banana slices, and Sweet Earth Benevolent Bacon on sourdough bread, pan-fried with about a ton of vegan butter.

It was divine, no lie.

Before assembling the sandwich I cooked the bacon in the pan, along with a hefty drizzle of real maple syrup. Then I just layered it in there with the banana slices and globs of peanut butter.

It’s the frying of the sandwich (much like you would a grilled cheese) that turns it into total perfection. The peanut butter gets all melty and sticks it all together.

There’s no real recipe here. A banana or two, and your favorite peanut butter. I used sourdough bread and Earth Balance because those are my faves, and one package of the Benevolent Bacon will make 4-6 sandwiches I think, depending on how decadent you get. And with a sandwich named after Elvis, there is no such thing as TOO DECADENT.

    Simple pleasures like this decadent little number need no real recipes. Elvis himself would be proud of that one!
