Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches are so absurdly good. They’re overflowing with creamy peanut butter, they have the best crunch thanks to savory bacon, and with just a drizzle of honey added in, they’re the ideal blend of sweet and savory. The next time you want to level up your basic sandwich<\/a>, consider making this recipe. You won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n Cook your bacon in a skillet on medium low until desired crispiness has been reached. Set the cooked bacon on folded paper towels to drain.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, spread peanut butter on two slices of bread, then sprinkle cayenne pepper lightly over the top. Top the peanut butter with bacon and a drizzle of honey, then top each sandwich with the remaining bread. You can add a light layer of peanut butter to the top layer of bread, if you’d like.<\/p>\n Once cooled, wrap your premade sandwiches in tin foil and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.<\/p>\n Although these sandwiches are best served immediately after they’re made, you can make them up to a few hours in advance.<\/p>\n Yes. You can sub the bread for any gluten-free bread of your choice.<\/p>\n This is a pretty flavor-packed and filling sandwich. Your best bet? A glass of cold milk.<\/p>\n No. While cinnamon and raisins are ridiculously good with both peanut butter and bacon, you can opt for a different bread topper. Sourdough, oatmeal or even just plain white bread<\/a> would all be excellent choices as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I craved peanut butter and bacon toast while pregnant.
