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
Toast the Bread:
- Toast both slices of bread to your preferred level of crispness. This gives your sandwich a sturdy base and the perfect crunch.
Assemble the Sandwich:
-
Spread peanut butter as thick as you’d like on one or both slices of toasted bread.
- Add a generous layer of Sweet Home Muscadine Hull Preserves on the other slice.
- Press the two sides together to create your classic Muscadine PB Toastie.
Make It Melty:
- Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of both sides of the sandwich.
- Place it in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook until the bread is golden, the peanut butter turns warm and silky, and the preserves become wonderfully gooey.
Serve It:
- Transfer your warm Sweet Home Muscadine PB Toastie Melt to a plate and slice it diagonally (the only correct way 😉).
- Pair with a cold glass of milk or iced coffee.
Perfect Pairing
- This Sweet Home Muscadine PB Toastie Melt goes surprisingly well with a bowl of vegetable soup — comforting, nostalgic, and cozy.
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 of the sandwich before you "make it melty."
