Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (sliced, your choice of type)
- 2 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons fruit preserves or jelly (your choice of flavor)
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for toasting)
- 1 tablespoon crushed nuts or granola (optional)
Instructions
If desired, lightly toast the 2 slices of bread. For an extra crispy and buttery touch, spread 1 teaspoon of butter on each slice and toast in a pan over medium heat until golden.
Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread.
Spread 2 tablespoons of fruit preserves or jelly evenly on the other slice of bread.
If you want an extra layer of crunch, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crushed nuts or granola over the peanut butter.
Carefully place the jelly-covered slice of bread on top of the peanut butter-covered slice, ensuring the spreads align to avoid mess.
Press down gently, slice the sandwich in half diagonally or horizontally if preferred, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
