Peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a classic, satisfying and quick-to-make meal that has been loved by generations. This simple recipe uses multi-grain bread, creamy peanut butter, and sweet strawberry jam to create a delicious and nutritious sandwich perfect for snacks or lunches.

Ingredients:

2 slices multi-grain bread
50g
1 tsp butter
4.73g
1.50 tbsp peanut butter
24g
1 tbsp strawberry jam
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread:
- Place the 2 slices of multi-grain bread on a clean surface or plate.
2. Butter the Bread:
- Take 1 tsp of butter and spread it evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help to prevent the bread from getting soggy and add a nice texture and flavor.
3. Spread the Peanut Butter:
- On one slice of bread (over the buttered side), spread 1.5 tbsp of peanut butter evenly. Make sure to cover the whole slice for a consistent taste in every bite.
4. Add the Strawberry Jam:
- On the other slice of bread (over the buttered side), spread 1 tbsp of strawberry jam. Again, make sure it is evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Carefully place the slice with strawberry jam on top of the slice with peanut butter, aligning the edges. The buttered sides should be touching the peanut butter and jam to keep the outer bread soft and flavorful.
6. Optional - Cut the Sandwich:
- If desired, use a knife to cut the sandwich into halves or quarters for easier handling, especially for kids.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Your classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it immediately for the best taste and texture.

Tips:

- Choose Quality Ingredients: Select high-quality multi-grain bread for extra texture and nutrients. Opt for natural peanut butter and strawberry jam without added sugars or preservatives for a healthier option.

- Spread Evenly: Ensure that the peanut butter and jam are spread evenly across the bread slices. This ensures every bite is well-balanced and prevents the bread from getting soggy.

- Add Butter for a Crisp Texture: Butter one side of each slice of bread for extra flavor and to give the bread a crispy texture when toasted.

- Toast for Extra Crunch: Toast the sandwich lightly in a pan or sandwich press if you prefer a warm and crispy version of the classic PB&J sandwich.

By following these steps and tips, you can create a delicious and nutritious peanut butter and jelly sandwich that is perfect for any time of day. Whether you enjoy it as a quick lunch or a satisfying snack, this classic combination is bound to please.
