4 slices soft sandwich bread
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Notes / Tips
Do not overfill the sandwiches or the jam may leak too much during cooking.
Butter the bread lightly so the outside turns crisp, not greasy.
Do not overcrowd the basket or the bread may turn soft instead of crisp.
Cook time may vary slightly depending on bread thickness and air fryer model.
Variations
Use strawberry, grape, raspberry, or mixed berry jam.
Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
Add a few thin banana slices for a sweeter PB&J version.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar after cooking for a dessert-style finish.
