GOURMET PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare peanut butter sandwich using desired jelly or jam . Make sure it isn't too runny because the sandwich will be heated and jam could leak out.
• Heat a frying pan to melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Tilt pan so butter covers pan evenly. This is key to get a perfectly crispy crust on the bread.
• Butter one side of sandwich. Place buttered-side down in the pan. If possible, place a steak weight or bacon press on sandwich so it cooks evenly. When one side is golden brown, butter other side. Turn sandwich over and place weight back on sandwich. The second side will cook faster because sandwich is already heated.
• Remove sandwich from pan, cut diagonally and serve immediately. Looking for other ways to perk up your beloved PB&J? Here are some other ways to enjoy this common childhood favorite:
