Ingredients
-
☐ 2 slices white bread
-
☐ 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or more to taste)
-
☐ 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip or mayonnaise (optional)
-
☐ 2–3 slices ripe tomato
-
☐ Thin slices from ¼ small onion
-
☐ Salt, to taste
-
☐ Black pepper, to taste
Ingredients
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Place both slices of bread in a toaster and toast until golden brown and crisp. The toasted bread adds extra flavor and helps keep the tomatoes from making the sandwich soggy.
Step 2: Spread the Peanut Butter
Spread the peanut butter evenly over one slice of the warm toast. Add a little more or less depending on your preference.
Step 3: Add the Optional Spread
If using Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, spread a thin, even layer over the second slice of toast. This adds a creamy, tangy contrast to the peanut butter.
Step 5: Add the Onion
Top the tomatoes with several thin slices of onion, spreading them evenly across the sandwich. Thin slices provide the perfect balance of flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
Step 5 – Assemble the Crepes
Spread a generous spoonful of the cream cheese filling down the center of each crepe. Add a few spoonfuls of the strawberry sauce, then gently fold or roll the crepe.
Step 6: Assemble the Sandwich
Place the second slice of toast on top and gently press the sandwich together so everything stays in place.
