Serves: 1
Ingredients:
2 slices bread that are not made with an enriched flour
1 tablespoon organic or 100% natural creamy peanut butter (the brand I buy just has organic peanuts and sea salt in it.)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
If peanut butter is stiff, microwave for 5 or 10 seconds at a time until spreadable. Spread peanut butter on one side of one piece of bread. Put other slice of bread on top of peanut butter to make a sandwich. Brush top side of sandwich with butter. Put buttered side of sandwich down in a skillet. Brush butter on the unbuttered side of the sandwich. Cook on medium-high heat flipping frequently until golden brown on both sides. Have with a glass of water.
