Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices slices good quality sourdough bread Any bread can be used; sourdough adds a tangy flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter Creamy or crunchy peanut butter can be used.
  • 2 tablespoons your favorite jam Jelly, preserves, or marmalade can also be used.
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter For spreading on the outside of the bread.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lay the two slices of bread flat and spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly across one slice.
  2. Spread 2 tablespoons of your favorite jam evenly across the second slice.
  3. Press the two slices together with the peanut butter and jam sides facing inward.
  4. Spread softened butter generously on the outside of both slices.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Carefully lay the assembled sandwich into the hot pan and cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for about 30 seconds before slicing.
  2. Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Spread butter all the way to the edges for even browning. Use medium heat to avoid burning and let it rest briefly before slicing to prevent spilling the filling.
