PB&J (Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam Sandwich)
Inspired by techniques from Serious Eats.
Smooth peanut butter spread thinly on all four slices of soft white bread, strawberry jam on two, then closed and cut on the diagonal. Ready in 5 minutes.
Always check the labels of the products you use.
Method
- 1
Spread the peanut butter. Spread the peanut butter thinly over all four slices, right to the edges. A layer on both sides acts as a seal, so the jam can't soak into the bread.
- 2
Add the jam. Spoon the jam onto two of the slices and spread it evenly, stopping about 5 mm from the crust so it doesn't squeeze out.
- 3
Close and cut. Close the sandwiches, press gently and cut each one in half on the diagonal. Eat straight away or wrap for a packed lunch.
Storage
Wrapped, it keeps well at room temperature until lunchtime the same day. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
