Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Jelly or jam (flavor of choice)
- 2 teaspoons Butter
Instructions
Lay out two slices of sandwich bread on a clean surface.
Spread peanut butter evenly over one slice of the bread.
Spread jelly or jam evenly over the other slice of the bread.
Press the two slices together, with the peanut butter and jelly sides facing inward to form a sandwich.
Heat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, coating the pan evenly.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
Lift the sandwich with a spatula, add the remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, and flip the sandwich onto the other side.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly.
Slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
