Method

Preheat the sandwich grill. Spread 1 side of each bread slice with the butter, then spread the unbuttered sides with the peanut butter, dividing it evenly. On 2 of the bread slices, spread the jam over the peanut butter, dividing it evenly. Place the remaining 2 bread slices on top, peanut butter sides down, and press gently.
