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!}

I can just imagine the crunch crunch crunch!
Hi Penny, yep it’s crunchy all da wayyyyyyyyyy!
I’m totally making this for my husband for supper tonight. He will freak out with happiness. So will my kids. Well done!
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!
Interesting and delicious idea!!!
Thanks for your lovely comment, Liz!
What a creative idea! I love it…there is nothing wrong with grilled sandwiches for dinner! Who doesn’t love PB&J?
Oh you’re so sweet about the grilled sandwiches for dinner thing. The “adults” in my life will shake their heads at the idea *roll my eyes*
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).
i think im in love
yep, that makes the two of us – in the PB&J love boat!
I was initially confused at what I was looking at, but now that I understand, it looks delicious!
Thanks Mimi, for your lovely comment! I hope the pine cone branch wasn’t the culprit behind your confusion.
What a fabulous idea. I LOOOVE PB&J. Who doesn’t?!
Thanks Dawn! I totally agree with you!
That looks absolutely amazing! great idea!
Glad that you don’t think its too ridiculous, hehe!
This is like a next level of peanut butter jelly sandwich Emily! I really like your decoration and the plate is pretty.
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!
I came to your site for the lamb meatballs but, I’ll come back because of these fun sandwiches! What a really fun twist!
We still have three days to enter our site’s birthday give away for a KitchenAid mixer. Come on over to EverydaySouthwest.com and join the party!
Hi Sandy,
I’m happy that you like both of my made-up recipes, hehe! Oh and thanks for the info on the giveaway, LOVE KitchenAid mixer, who doesn’t?
What beautiful pictures! I am not a fan of a traditional pb&j (not that being cornflake crusted is traditional – I just don’t like jelly) but htis looks amazing!
Hi Kita,
While we were going on and on about who doesn’t like PB&J, there you are ,hahaha!
Thanks for your lovely comment.
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
Oh you poor thing – if there’s no PB & J sandwich, I’m also happy with melted butter over toast.
What a novel and fun idea…some of the best things are simple. This is a kid (and adult) pleaser!
Yeah, grilled sandwich is fun to make as well as to eat, hehehe! Just thought one can’t go wrong with PB&J sandwich….for snack as well as or dinner.
Add crunch to a great treat. Love it. Great new way to get the peanut butter benefits to health.
Omg I’m so excited to make this for breakfast tomorrow O.O
Emily:
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.
Thanks Cynthia… you can’t go wrong with a crunchy PB&J!
