Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced bread
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons jelly or jam
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly onto one side of a slice of bread. Repeat with one more slice.
Spread 2 tablespoons of jelly or jam onto one side of two other slices of bread. Sandwich the peanut butter and jelly sides together to make two sandwiches.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around the pan to coat evenly.
Carefully dip one sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated. Let the excess liquid drip off before placing it in the hot skillet.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding the remaining butter to the pan as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the sandwiches to a plate. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast!
