Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed French Toast
Follow this simple recipe to create Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed French Toast that’s perfect for lazy mornings or a weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 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
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
- 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.
- Dip the sandwiches: Submerge each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
- 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.
- Serve: Remove the French toasts from the skillet and serve them warm. Top with powdered sugar, additional jam, or a drizzle of peanut butter.
Notes
Try different jams: While strawberry jam is classic, raspberry, blueberry, or even grape jam also work beautifully.
Soaking the bread: Let the bread slices soak in the egg and milk mixture for a few seconds, but not too long, to prevent them from becoming soggy and falling apart.
Dairy-free: Substitute milk with almond milk or oat milk, and use vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
