Description

This delicious French toast recipe combines creamy peanut butter and sweet strawberry jam, perfect for breakfast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 8 slices of sandwich bread
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 3 Tbsp butter (for the pan)
  • Optional: powdered sugar, additional jam, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread. Spread strawberry jam on another slice. Press the two slices together to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
  3. Dip the sandwiches: Submerge each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  4. Cook the sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter as needed for each batch.
  5. Serve: Remove the French toasts from the skillet and serve them warm. Top with powdered sugar, additional jam, or a drizzle of peanut butter.
