Twice Toasted Peanut Butter And Muscadine Hull Preserves Sandwich

"Twice Toasted" Peanut Butter and Muscadine Hull Preserves Sandwiches, adding a delightful crunch and warmth to the classic!

Yields: 1 sandwich Prep time: 2 minutes Cook time: 2-4 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of your favorite bread
• 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 1-2 tablespoons Muscadine Hull Preserves
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and preserves on the other. Bring the two slices together to form a regular peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
2. First Toast (Optional): If you like a slightly firmer sandwich, you can lightly toast the assembled sandwich in a toaster oven or a dry skillet over low heat for about 1 minute per side. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
3. Second Toast (The Key!): Now, spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of both sides of the sandwich (this is optional but adds a lovely flavor and helps with browning).
4. Toast Again: Place the buttered sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. You can also do this under a broiler, watching very closely to prevent burning.
5. Serve: Remove from the heat, slice (if desired), and enjoy your warm and crunchy "Twice Toasted" Peanut Butter and Muscadine Hull Preserves Sandwich!

Tips and Variations:

• Type of Bread: Heartier breads like sourdough or whole wheat hold up well to the double toasting.
• Butter Alternative: You can use a little bit of oil or even cooking spray instead of butter for the second toast.
• Add Ins: For extra fun, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on the outside before the second toast.
