Not op, but absolutely yes. Toast first, apply PB and J while still warm. If you have a toaster oven, stack the bread so the inside stays soft but warm.
Just like witn fried PBJ, you should use less PB than usual, it can get larynx glueingly sticky if you use too much, ask me how I know. Self heimlich is worth knowing.
I like to do the opposite - toast the inside of the bread in butter, and leave the outside soft and untoasted. The pb gets melty and squidges out the sides a bit since it’s on the hot side of the bread, but you get the nice soft pillowy texture on the outside which is nicer on the roof of my mouth, so I accept the messy trade-off.
Do you toast your pbj bread? Before or after you apply the pbj?

Square bread belongs in an upright toaster before applying any topping, always :)
TBH, I’ve never seen a toaster oven.
[Offtopic] TIL There’s even a movie about a toaster: The Brave Little Toaster 1987
