GRILLED PBJ SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter and jam on two slices of bread; top with remaining bread. Butter the outsides of sandwiches; cook in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown on each side. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat griddle or skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Spread peanut butter on unbuttered side of one slice of bread, and jelly on the other. Place one slice, buttered side down on the griddle. Top with other slice, so that peanut butter and jelly are in the middle. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, and heated through.

FANCY GRILLED PB AND J

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until not quite crisp, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any fat. Wipe the skillet and place it back on the heat.
• Begin building the rest of the sandwich: Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread, then spread jam on both slices as well. Place the manchego on one of the slices, then cut the provolone in half and place on top of the manchego. Cut the Swiss cheese in half and place on top of the jam on the other slice. Pile the onions on top of the provolone cheese, followed by the pieces of bacon. Make the sandwich by closing the 2 filled sides of bread together and press slightly to help it all stay together.
• Spread the top of the sandwich with half the mayonnaise. Place the sandwich into the skillet mayonnaise-side down. Spread the rest of the mayonnaise on the top of the sandwich. Fry until the outsides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese in the middle is melted, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Cut in half and serve.

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY

Steps:

• For the brioche: In a stand up mixer using the dough hook attachment, put the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, milk and eggs. Turn the mixer on low speed and mix for about 4 minutes. Turn up the mixer to medium speed and mix for an extra 8 minutes. Turn the mixer back to low and gradually add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time. Once all the butter has been incorporated, place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
• Punch down the dough, and cut into 2 equal pieces. Place in 2 well-greased loaf pans, about 3 inches by 5 inches, and let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Turn out on to a cooling rack and let cool.
• For the spicy pomegranate jelly: Mix together the pectin with the 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the pomegranate puree to a boil. Slowly add the pectin sugar mix to the pomegranate, stirring constantly. Add the remaining 2 cups granulated sugar in three parts. Add the corn syrup, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture up to 215 degrees F on a candy thermometer and sprinkle in the citric acid. At this point you will need to pour this directly into a tray with a silicone mat, or into silicone molds of your choice. Let the jelly set, and then either cut the jelly to the desired shape, or pop it out of the molds. Next, mix together the cane sugar and chili powder and dip the jelly into the mix. Set aside.
• For the hazelnut crunch butter: Melt together the chocolate chips and butter; stir in the hazelnut paste. Add the wafer flakes and hazelnuts and set aside.
• To assemble: Slice the brioche into 1/2-inch slices. Spread one side of the bread with the hazelnut crunch butter. Place a square of jelly on top and place another slice of bread on top. Grill lightly in butter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
