Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over one slice of bread.
Spread 2 tablespoons of jelly or jam evenly over the second slice of bread.
Place the two slices together, with the peanut butter and jelly sides facing each other, to form a sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly over one side of the sandwich.
Place the sandwich buttered-side down onto the heated skillet. While it cooks, spread the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on the top side of the sandwich.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half to serve.
Enjoy your warm and crispy Grilled PB & J!
