Method
Sandwich
Assemble sandwich
Lay the two slices of bread flat. On one slice, spread 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter evenly to the edges. On the other slice, spread 2 tablespoons jelly/jam evenly. Place the American cheese slice on top of the peanut-buttered bread. Top the cheese with the two cooked bacon strips, arranging them to cover the cheese. Close the sandwich with the jelly-topped slice, jelly side down.
For cooking / finishing
Grill sandwich
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low to medium heat. Spread the softened butter evenly over the outer faces of both bread slices (or butter the pan lightly). Place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook gently for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the bread browns too quickly before the cheese melts, lower the heat and cover the pan for 1–2 minutes to trap heat and help the cheese melt.
Rest and serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute to set. Slice in half diagonally if desired and serve hot so the cheese is melty and the peanut butter and jelly are warm and gooey.
