*Nutella Bacon Banana Breakfast Grilled Cheese!*
Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
8 thick-cut slices bacon, halved crosswise
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 slices Pepperidge Farm Chocolatey Chip Swid or Cinnamon Swirl bread
½ cup mascarpone cheese
½ cup Nutella
2 bananas, sliced
In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Drain the remaining fat from the skillet and wipe with a paper towel.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread on a work surface, buttered-side down. Spread the mascarpone cheese evenly over the unbuttered sides of half the bread slices. Spread the Nutella on the remaining bread slices. Add 4 pieces of bacon and the banana slices to each Nutella-topped slice of bread. Top with the mascarpone-topped slices to form sandwiches. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook until golden on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve.
*Old-Fashioned NYC Chocolate Milk*

Total time: 5 minutes
⅔ cup Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup
2 cups whole milk
