Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out two slices of bread on a clean plate or cutting board. Have your peanut butter, jelly, and a butter knife or spatula ready.
Spread the Peanut Butter: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly on one side of the first bread slice. Use a butter knife to ensure a smooth layer, covering the entire surface to the edges. This creates a barrier to prevent sogginess.
Add the Jelly: On the second slice of bread, spread 1-2 tablespoons of jelly evenly on one side. Use a clean knife or spoon to avoid cross-contamination. Depending on how sweet you like your food, adjust the amount.
Assemble the Sandwich: Place the peanut butter-covered slice on top of the jelly-covered slice, ensuring the spreads face each other. To seal the sandwich, lightly press.
Cut and Serve: Slice the sandwich diagonally or into rectangles for easy eating. Serve immediately with a glass of milk, fruit, or chips for a classic meal.
