Best Pb And J Burger Recipes

FANCY GRILLED PB AND J

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until not quite crisp, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any fat. Wipe the skillet and place it back on the heat.
• Begin building the rest of the sandwich: Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread, then spread jam on both slices as well. Place the manchego on one of the slices, then cut the provolone in half and place on top of the manchego. Cut the Swiss cheese in half and place on top of the jam on the other slice. Pile the onions on top of the provolone cheese, followed by the pieces of bacon. Make the sandwich by closing the 2 filled sides of bread together and press slightly to help it all stay together.
• Spread the top of the sandwich with half the mayonnaise. Place the sandwich into the skillet mayonnaise-side down. Spread the rest of the mayonnaise on the top of the sandwich. Fry until the outsides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese in the middle is melted, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Cut in half and serve.

PB AND J BURGER

Steps:

• For the blackberry jam: Cook the blackberries in a large, tall stockpot over medium-high heat, stirring to keep the mixture from sticking or scorching, until the berries have broken down and become liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sugar, and cook, stirring so it doesn't burn, until the mixture is loose and runny. Optionally, if you want to remove the seeds, strain the mixture through a strainer and then return it to the pot before proceeding.
• Stir in the pectin a little at a time, following the instructions on the pectin container, until the jam reaches your desired consistency (remember that the jam will continue to firm as it cools). Let cool completely. Refrigerate the jam in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
• For the burger: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, put the patty in the skillet and press it into a flat round burger with a spatula. Sprinkle the burger with salt and pepper and weigh it down with a small plate or empty saucepan; the perfect burger is cooked by placing a weight of some kind on top and only flipping it once during the process. When the burger is halfway done, after 3 to 5 minutes, flip it over, sprinkle with more salt and pepper and cook until desired doneness, another 3 to 5 minutes.
• Spread the peanut butter on the bottom bun and 2 tablespoons of the blackberry jam on the top bun. Add the finished burger on top of the peanut butter and flip the top bun over allowing the peanut butter to melt and the jam to ooze all over. Oh and don't forget the napkins.
