Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick sliced brioche bread
• 4 tablespoons Crunchy peanut butter
• 4 tablespoons Homemade or artisanal fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, or blueberry)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Finely chopped roasted peanuts
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by spreading 2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter evenly onto two slices of brioche bread.

Step 2

Next, spread 2 tablespoons of the homemade or artisanal fruit jam over the peanut butter layers on both slices.

Step 3

Place the remaining two slices of brioche bread on top to form two sandwiches.

Step 4

Butter one side of each sandwich generously with 1 tablespoon of softened butter per sandwich.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the buttered side of each sandwich, pressing gently to ensure they stick.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches, buttered side down, onto the skillet.

Step 7

While the first side is grilling, butter the top side of each sandwich with the remaining butter.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook the second side for another 2-3 minutes until crispy, golden, and heated through.

Step 9

Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally.

Step 10

Dust the sandwiches lightly with powdered sugar for a gourmet touch, if desired, and serve warm.
