Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices White or whole-grain bread
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Fruit jelly or jam (e.g., strawberry, grape, or raspberry)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish - e.g., sliced strawberries, grapes, or raspberries)
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Using a cookie cutter, cut the bread slices into circles, squares, or other fun shapes. You should be able to cut 2-3 pieces from each slice, depending on the size of your cutter.
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one side of half the bread shapes.
Spread a thin layer of jelly on one side of the remaining bread shapes.
Press one peanut butter piece and one jelly piece together gently to create a mini sandwich.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Place the mini sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
If desired, garnish each mini sandwich with a small slice of fresh fruit secured with a toothpick.
Arrange the PB&J appetizers on a serving platter and enjoy!
