Prep Your Bread: Lay your two slices of bread on a clean work surface or chopping board.

Spread the Fillings: Spread the peanut butter evenly over one slice of bread, going right to the edges. On the other slice, spread your jam. What works best for me is creating a small 'dam' of peanut butter around the edge of the jam slice to keep it from spilling out in the pan.

Assemble the Sandwich: Carefully place the two slices together to form your sandwich. Press down gently to secure it.

Butter the Outside: Using a butter knife, spread half of the softened butter (about 7-8g) over the top surface of the sandwich. Make sure you get an even layer that covers the entire slice.

Begin Grilling: Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Carefully place the sandwich in the pan, buttered-side down.

Butter the Other Side: While the first side is cooking, spread the remaining softened butter over the upward-facing side of the sandwich.

Cook to Perfection: Let the sandwich cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the bread is a deep golden brown and crisp. You can check by gently lifting a corner with a spatula.

Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the sandwich over using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, until it’s equally golden and the fillings are warm and melted. I like to press down gently with the spatula for a few seconds after flipping.

Serve Immediately: Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice it in half diagonally (it just tastes better that way!), and serve immediately while it’s warm and gooey. A tiny sprinkle of sea salt flakes on top can really make the flavours pop.
