Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 slices thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
Lay out the slices of bread. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese and peanut butter mixture on one side of 4 slices of bread. Leave a small border around the edges to prevent leakage during cooking.
Top each prepared slice with a plain slice of bread to create a sandwich. Press gently to seal the edges.
In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly, but do not let the bread soak for too long.
Place the coated sandwiches into the hot skillet or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to plates. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or any toppings of your choice.
