Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 1

Ingredients

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

    Heat the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Add the banana slices and sauté for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the slices and continue to cook until golden brown on the other side, 1 or 2 minutes more.
