Could you ever imagine a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as
decadent? Try this gourmet PB&J, and you'll reassess everything
you've previously understood about this classic.
While we don't want to mess with the perfection that is the standard
peanut butter and jelly sandwich, sometimes you may want to try a new
twist on an old favorite, all while paying homage to the traditional
flavors that entranced most of us as children.
By using an artisan bread and heating it in butter, a crispy, golden
crust develops on the bread similar to the way it would on a grilled
cheese. Plus, the heat melts the peanut butter and jelly into a
gooey, rich confection. Try rye, whole-grain, or sourdough bread for
added dimension in flavor.
Prepare peanut butter sandwich using desired jelly or jam. Make sure
it isn't too runny because the sandwich will be heated and jam could leak out.
Heat a frying pan to melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Tilt pan so butter
covers pan evenly. This is key to get a perfectly crispy crust on the bread.
Butter one side of sandwich. Place buttered-side down in the pan. If
possible, place a steak weight or bacon press on sandwich so it cooks
evenly. When one side is golden brown, butter other side. Turn
sandwich over and place weight back on sandwich. The second side will
cook faster because sandwich is already heated.
Remove sandwich from pan, cut diagonally and serve immediately.
Looking for other ways to perk up your beloved PB&J? Here are some
other ways to enjoy this common childhood favorite:
Try spreading it on French toast that's fresh off the griddle.
For a fun twist, try a sandwich with waffles instead of bread. Just
slather some peanut butter and jelly onto waffles. You will not
necessarily need syrup in this case, but you can, of course, add it
if you'd like.
Instead of bulky bread, try putting the peanut butter and jelly on a
healthy wrap. It may be slimmer in volume, but the taste will shine.
