Ingredients
  • softened butter
  • 4 slices marble rye bread or whole grain bread
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons chunky peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter or sun butter
  • 1/3 cup resh blueberries or very thinly sliced fresh peaches or strawberries
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons blueberry, peach or strawberry jam or preserves
Directions
  1. Step 1: Heat a panini press or the flat sides of a waffle iron. Alternatively, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: While the pan heats, spread the butter over one side of each piece of bread.
  3. Step 3: Spread the nut butter evenly over the non-buttered side of 2 slices of the bread. Press half of the fruit into the nut butter on each slice of bread.
  4. Step 4: Spread the jam evenly over the non-buttered side of the other 2 bread slices. Sandwich the breads together.
  5. Step 5: Place on the hot panini press (or into the cast-iron skillet). Close the panini press (or use a heavy lid or smaller skillet to stack onto the sandwiches in the cast-iron). Cook until crisped and golden, about 4 minutes. (You’ll need to flip the sandwiches if cooking them in the skillet).
  6. Step 6: Transfer to a cutting board. Cut in half and serve hot.
