Add some spice to your PB&J
In Fish's opinion, one of the best ways to make the peanut butter & jelly duo a trio is to add something spicy.

“Try Sriracha or chili sauce,” he said. “In so many Asian foods, combining spice with that peanut flavor is very common — and it adds a really distinct taste to it that can really make a difference.”

Pork belly can be bangin' on peanut butter, too
“Peanut butter is pretty much an American thing,” Horowitz said. “But using peanuts is obviously not.

“In a lot of Asian cuisines, they pair that peanut flavor with spicy meats, and it's amazing. I have tried putting things like pork belly on a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. It sounds a little weird, but a lot of people do put bacon on PB&Js, and it's along those same lines.”

Don't settle on simple cheese
“There are so many cheeses that work on melted sandwiches that people don't really consider,” Fish said. “You can definitely switch things up — even in a grilled cheese — just by changing out your standard cheeses or blending them.”

Higher-moisture cheeses are the go-to for these, as harder cheeses don't melt as well, and obviously melting is the key to a great cheesy sandwich.

“Try mixing pepper Jack and blue cheese together — it's an excellent combo, and very easy to do, even at home,” he added.

Don't make bread an afterthought
Bread is the canvas that all sandwiches are painted on — whether you're drizzling ketchup on your cheesesteak like a culinary Jackson Pollock or putting together a Rockwellian American club. But you don't always have to settle for the most basic bread.

“Don't be afraid to try something different if you want to switch it up,” Fish said. “Making a grilled cheese? Try putting it on a bagel instead of white bread.”

Finished!
