No reviews

Crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside—this elevated PB&J uses a waffle iron to transform a classic into a golden, melty masterpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons preserves or jelly
  • Butter (optional, for greasing)

Instructions

1. Preheat

  • Preheat your waffle iron.

2. Assemble the Sandwich

  • Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread.
  • Spread preserves on the other slice.
  • Press together to form a sandwich.

3. Prepare the Waffle Iron

  • Lightly butter the waffle iron (optional for extra crispiness and flavor).

4. Cook

  • Place the sandwich in the waffle iron and close.
  • Cook for 4–5 minutes, until:
    • Bread is golden and crisp
    • Filling is warm and slightly oozing

5. Serve

  • Carefully remove and let cool slightly before slicing or serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill: Prevents excessive leakage
  • Seal edges slightly: Pressing the bread helps contain filling
  • Watch closely: Waffle irons vary in heat intensity
