Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons jelly or jam (any flavor)
For Air Frying
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened (for spreading)
Instructions
- Prepare the sandwich: Spread peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread and jelly on another slice. Press the two slices together to form a sandwich.
- Butter the bread: Lightly spread softened butter on the outer sides of each bread slice to ensure a crispy golden crust when air fried.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) if your model requires preheating for best results.
- Air fry the sandwich: Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping carefully halfway through to toast both sides evenly until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove the sandwich and let it cool slightly before serving, as the peanut butter and jelly filling will be hot and melty.
Notes
- For a sealed, mess-free sandwich, use a sandwich cutter or crimper to press the edges before air frying.
- Try adding sliced bananas for extra flavor and texture.
- Peanut butter alternatives like almond or sunflower butter work well in this recipe.
