Ahh…the Sandwich. Although they existed long before they were called sandwiches, John Montague, the fourth earl of Sandwich, is credited with naming the tasty invention. Montague, a heavy card player, held his cards in one hand and cheese and meat between slices of bread in the other (This is still a sandwich purpose in my house today!). Montague’s fellow players started asking for Sandwich’s …and the rest is sandwich history!

PB&H Bagels
I love peanut butter, banana, and honey on a warm, toasted bagel. It’s one of my favorite sandwiches. My fondness of this concoction began while studying abroad at Harlaxton. Don’t get me wrong—England does have some great grub. Fish and Chips. Shepherd’s Pie. The list goes on. But the refectory at Harlaxton College, well, let’s just say there were good days and bad days. On bad days, I would eat this yummy sandwich and it wasn’t such a bad day after all.
What you’ll need:
PB&H Bagels:
Peanut Butter
1 Banana
Honey
Bagel (I use original bagel thins)
First, turn your oven on broil and toast your bagels. While the bagels are toasting, slice your banana.
After your bagels are golden brown, remove from the oven and spread bottom half of bagel with peanut butter.
Layer the banana slices on top of the peanut butter.
Squirt one skinny line of honey around the bagel on top of the banana slices. Place the top of the bagel and form your sandwich.
There you have it. PB&H Bagel. Enjoy!
