Scale
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons jelly or jam (such as strawberry or grape)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Lay the two slices of bread flat on a cutting board to have a stable base for spreading the fillings.
- Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of creamy or crunchy peanut butter over one slice of bread, making sure to cover the surface for balanced flavor.
- Spread jelly: Spread 2 tablespoons of your favorite jelly or jam on the other slice of bread, ensuring an even layer for proper taste distribution.
- Assemble sandwich: Press the two slices of bread together so that the peanut butter and jelly sides face each other, creating the classic sandwich.
- Slice and serve: Optionally, slice the sandwich in half to make it easier to handle, then serve immediately for best freshness and taste.
Notes
- Use any type of bread you prefer—white, whole wheat, multigrain, or gluten-free—to suit dietary needs or taste preferences.
- For a healthier version, choose natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils and a low-sugar jelly.
- Try crunchy peanut butter for added texture or creamy for smoothness.
- To avoid sogginess, spread peanut butter first, then jelly, as the peanut butter acts as a moisture barrier.
- Use a knife dedicated to peanut butter and another for jelly to avoid mixing flavors in the jars.
