Ingredients for Baby Pb J Bagel Sandwiches

  • Miniature Bagels
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • Strawberry Jelly
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

How to Make Baby Pb J Bagel Sandwiches

  1. Preheat your panini press or skillet over medium heat.
  2. Spread peanut butter evenly on the cut sides of the bottom halves of the bagels.
  3. Spread jelly evenly on the cut sides of the top halves of the bagels.
  4. Gently place the top halves of the bagels onto the bottom halves, jelly-side down, to create the sandwiches.
  5. Lightly brush the outside of each bagel sandwich with melted butter.
  6. If using a panini press, cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bagels are lightly browned and grill marks appear. If using a skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Remove from the press or skillet and let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
