Well, grilled cheese is usually made with American Cheese, and a banana wrapped in American Cheese was a favorite healthy snack when I was a lil' one, so I'm sure it could work, given the right preparation.
Whatever tickles your taste buds really. Not really my cup of tea but then never have tried it. But the tartness of the cheese should complement the sweetness of the banana so they balance each other. Only a crime to those who are not adventurous in the blending of food to tickle their palate
Fat and sweet are generally winners. Chocolate and banana does well, peanut butter and banana does well. My guess is that a fatty cheese and banana would do ok. Maybe manchego?
Jerry, I beg of you, please stop this nonsense. The world is burning and now you want to put bananas in grilled cheese?! Why do you kick us when we are already down?
Sounds more like "could grime".
Eat w napkin and hot cocoa laced with butter.
"Are you gonna eat that banana cheese paper in your pocket or are you hungry to see me?"
banana & peanut butter is better combo. Just had one for lunch after shoveling driveway 8” snow here in NH. Great carb booster for energy to finish the sidewalk.
I had heard Elvis Presley used to eat fried banana and peanut butter and bacon sandwiches… So no no crime committed here only crime being committed is in the White House.
Grilled cheese with pepper jack, with cherry jelly on the inside. I actually loved it. Strawberry is probably more most people's speed.
I'll try yours if you try mine.
You mean this as a joke, but there are several ways to make it work.
Brioche with cream cheese or a good fruit pairing cheese like brei, Chèvre, or gruyère, caramelize the bananas,
Maybe add some peanut butter, walnuts or something similar. Chocolate sauce for dipping.
I feel like the flavor of the banana would overpower the other flavors of the sandwich. Maybe the banana taste gets weaker when it’s cooked? I don’t know.

One drunken early morning at the White Cross Drug Store Diner in Vegas, we went and bought bananas and PB in the drug store section so the cook could make these for us. I was admittedly drunk, but I remember them being delicious.
I ate a lot of grilled peanut butter sandwiches growing up and everyone acted like I was nuts! They rock. Add bananas, honey, marshmallow, Nutella, whatever your carbs-and-sugar craving heart desires. Actually, your heart might hate it, but your taste buds won't care.
👐 Woah woah woah... I draw a line at honey, marshmallow and Nutella, that's way too rich and unbalanced. The only thing that goes with peanut butter and banana is crispy bacon. 🥓
Try a mix of a good cheddar sliced thin with some Colby jack a bit thicker for that ooey gooeey awesomeness..toasted nice golden brown..omg now I want one!
Many years ago a friend had me eat a grilled bacon, cheese and banana. I had zero hope for it being even remotely OK. Mind blown! The combination is brilliant! The textures and the sweet-savoury flavours just work.

I have always liked honey and sardine sandwiches for which I get a lot of derision but I am the one doing the eating so what do I care?
If we don't have Freedom of Sandwich then we might as well be North Korea.
😂😂😂
But we already follow each other
Too funny, Bobby
It’s kind of an eggless stuffed French toast at that point but who’s counting anymore?
Bananas no
Texture would be an issue
For me
Get in the kitchen, Jerry.
You're welcome.
Would be open to try (though have no bananas in my possession atm)
Banana works on greasy pizza so why not in grilled cheese?

Cheddar, no.
Eat w napkin and hot cocoa laced with butter.
