Sugary Treats Toast and Sandwiches

Cornflakes Crusted Grilled Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

I hope there is no age limit on loving grilled sandwiches for dinner.  To my beloved’s dismay at times, I love nothing more than grilled sandwiches or plain toasts with canned soup for dinner.  Men being men, it seems like the ideal men-approved dinners tend to revolve around plenty of carbs, meat and minimal veggies *sigh*. So in his eyes, grilled sandwiches and toasts belong to the snack category rather than main course. Fortunately for me, I have full control of the kitchen operation; unfortunately for him, he has to eat whatever the operator (me) produces. 😉

Tonight I was craving for some peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner and thanks for some leftovers from previous night,  my beloved’s dinner was covered.  Hence it would be wrong if I didn’t act on my PB&J cravings.

This time, however,  I wanted to stray a little from the conventional PB&J. I wanted a version which screamed decadence! Maybe it has something to do with the upcoming holiday huh? Still fresh from my previous cornflakes crusted “deep fried” wings recipe, I thought why not give my PB&J the first coating of beaten egg (to make a french toast) and followed by a crusty coating of handcrushed cornflakes?

Oh don’t mind me, as always, I’m on a quest to “crunchy-tize” my food. 😛

Cornflakes Crusted Grilled Peanut Butter – Jelly Sandwich

What you’ll need to make 2 sandwiches:

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1 egg
  • A dash of milk
  • 1.5 cup cornflakes
  • Peanut butter
  • Jelly or Jam
  • Butter to grease the pan

Method:

1. Pour cornflakes onto a flat plate and crush using your palms and fingers. Set aside.

2. Beat one egg with a dash of milk on a separate flat plate. Set aside.

3. Make the sandwich.

4. Dip the sandwich in the egg mixture for both sides. Then do the same with the cornflakes crumbs.

5. Heat a pan with some butter and grill the sandwich on both sides until golden brown. Make sure this is done on low heat.

6. Repeat step 4 and 5 for the remaining sandwich. Serve immediately.

 

{Enjoy!}

      Aww, lucky you – having a husband and kids that will jump for joy over grilled sandwiches for supper (I’m assuming you meant dinner right? – In my household, supper means snack time before bed time)! 🙂 Hope you’ll enjoy the sandwiches!

    Great idea! Love anything crunchy, and I can’t live without my daily dose of PB and J (I eat it every morning– actually this dish would be fun for breakfast too!)

      Hi Melissa,
      Wow every morning? I try to space it out, alternating between PB&J and cream cheese. Ok now, I see it in writing, I don’t see the whole point of spacing it out (I thought I was trying to be healthy). 😉

      Hehe, got some time to kill lately and hence the decoration. It’s actually a pine cone branch I picked from the Botanical Park where I live, didn’t know what to do with it at the time, but I needed to bring it home to add to my pile of “stuffs” I’ve been collecting, hehe!

    Just the photos made me so hungry! I haven’t had a sandwich dinner in such a long time… nor PB&J for that matter. They don’t even sell peanut butter at the shops here 🙁

    I think I’m going to try PB&J with a specialty flake like that’s got a little more punch. I was already hungry before I read this. Now I’m really hungry!!! Thanks for the beautiful new way to make my PB&J sing.
