Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche for a richer taste)
- 4 tbsp peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 4 tbsp jelly or jam (strawberry, grape, or your favorite flavor)
Batter Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on one side of each slice of bread. Then, spread a layer of jelly or jam evenly over the peanut butter. Press two slices of bread together to form each sandwich.
- Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the batter, allowing each side to absorb the mixture for a few seconds. Be gentle to prevent the bread from tearing and ensure an even coating.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the pan. Place the battered sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or maple syrup as desired, then enjoy your warm and delicious stuffed French toast.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with any nut or seed butter of your preference for a different flavor.
- Using brioche or thicker slices of bread will yield a richer and more indulgent French toast.
- Be careful during dipping to avoid tearing the bread; letting it soak for too long can cause it to fall apart.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with a flax egg or chickpea flour batter and use plant-based milk.
- Serve with fresh berries or sliced bananas for added nutrition and color.
- If you prefer sweeter French toast, add a teaspoon of sugar or maple syrup to the batter.
