Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices soft white bread
- 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup (80ml) strawberry jelly
- 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, softened (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by laying out all ingredients and tools.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons (30g) of creamy peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread, covering edge to edge.
- Spread roughly 1.5 tablespoons (20ml) of strawberry jelly evenly on a separate slice of bread. Stir honey into the jelly beforehand if using.
- Gently press the peanut butter slice and jelly slice together, peanut butter side meeting jelly side.
- Optional: Spread a thin layer of softened unsalted butter on the outside of both slices. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and toast the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Flip carefully with a spatula.
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Cut diagonally or in half and serve.
Notes
Let the sandwich rest for a minute after toasting to prevent filling from oozing out. If jelly is too thick or cold, soften it by letting it sit at room temperature or microwaving for 5 seconds. Use softened butter for even browning. For gluten-free, use gluten-free bread; for dairy-free, skip butter or use plant-based spread; for nut allergies, substitute sunflower seed butter.
