Catherine Robson's Note:

20 years ago I worked the graveyard shift in a hotel restaurant in town. This was one of the most popular items on the menu with the late night drinkers.

Uncommon but nice combo! DH found the sweet banana to be a nice contrast to the salt of the bacon and sharpness of the cheese. This was made using American slices as that is what I had on hand and pre-cooked bacon. With DH hovering only got one pre-cut photo that was only so-so and thus did not post sorry. Thanks for the post.

This was easy enough to make especially when, instead of grilling bacon, I sprinkled a generous tablespoon of bacon bits over the toast before adding the sliced banana & cheddar cheese! Very unusual & tasty snack, & I think these, cut even smaller, would make a nice addition to my finger food counter when I'm hosting! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Such an unusual combination it just had to be tried. My DH and I really enjoyed these for lunch, in fact Dh wanted them the next day. I used Old Smoothy vintage cheese and that seemed to work very well. One quick recipe that will be used again and again.
