2 slices of your favorite bread (white or whole wheat work beautifully)
2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons of grape or strawberry jelly
1 large egg
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Butter for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions
1. Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the jelly on the other. Press the slices together to form a sandwich.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
3. Melt a generous amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Dip the sandwich quickly into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
5. Place the sandwich in the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove from skillet, and if desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Variations & Tips
You can customize your Fried Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich in several delightful ways. Swap out the traditional grape jelly for raspberry or blackberry for a tart twist. For an extra decadent treat, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the egg mixture, or use almond butter instead of peanut butter. For those who adore a little extra sweetness, a thin layer of Nutella or a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips in the sandwich can make it a dessert to remember.
