Recipe Notes:

  • We preferred the flavors of the sandwich when the bread was not toasted, but a toasted PB&bacon can also be delicious. Place two slices of bread and two brown sugar-rubbed slices of bacon in the basket of the air fryer. Cook until bread is toasted, remove toast, flip the bacon and finish cooking it while you assemble the rest of the sandwich. 
  • Use good quality peanut butter and your favorite bacon for the best flavors! 
  • The honey is optional but adds just a bit of complementary flavor and it also helps hold the sandwich altogether.

How To Store:

If you have any leftover sandwiches, let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. they will last in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days.

You can either reheat them or eat them cold.
