Elvis Inspired Peanut Butter and Banana Popovers

It would seem The King had a reputation for liking fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Seems everyone knows this…why, I’m not sure. Maybe we are all filled with some sort of trivial knowledge about Elvis. Like, why do I know his birthday is in January? (It was this past Sunday, by the way.) Why do I know his middle name? Why do I know he had a twin? Why have I seen so many of his movies? Why on earth do I want to go to Graceland?

No matter. Peanut butter and banana is a great combination, and if it took Elvis to make it famous, then so be it.

I turned it in to a popover.

If you are a fan of the sandwich, then you’ll adore the popover. It has all the same flavors, but it’s allowed for breakfast, and you can douse it in more sugar in the form of maple or peanut butter syrup. Go ahead and add whipped cream, of course, which is frowned upon when it comes to sandwiches.

So many rules.

If Elvis is reading this, I imagine he’ll find my house on Google Maps, or, the smell will lead him here. Either way.

I may not have to go to Graceland after all.

Serve and enjoy!

Until next time, folks, have a great day!
