Ingredients
8 strips thick-cut bacon, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons bourbon
4 ripe but firm bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
Directions
Cook bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel lined-plate and cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Stir into peanut butter; reserve. Transfer rendered fat to small bowl. Combine butter and granulated sugar in small bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat. Spread on 1 side of each bread slice. Heat 2 tablespoons fat in now empty skillet over medium-high heat. Add bananas and brown sugar and cook until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add bourbon, and ignite with match. When flames die down, transfer to plate. Spread each sliced of bread with about 3 tablespoons peanut butter mixture. Distribute banana slices evenly among 4 bread slices, then invert remaining 4 slices over them and press gently to adhere. Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches, 2 at a time, until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to cooling rack and allow to set about 3 minutes prior to serving. Serve warm.
