Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast

Source of Recipe

From "The Loving Kitchen" by LeAnn Rice


Recipe Introduction

"I've never met a kid (of any age) who didn't love these. They are delicious! You can use this same technique with different fillings. Try strawberry cream cheese with fresh sliced strawberries or chocolate-hazelnut spread with sliced bananas. Pineapple cream cheese with toasted coconut would also make a great combination. Or brie with thinly sliced pears for something a little more savory. My mind is reeling with possibilities!"

List of Ingredients

• 8 slices sandwich bread
• Peanut butter
• Favorite flavor jam, preserves, or jelly
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• ¼ cup milk
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Dash of ground cinnamon
• Butter for griddle or skillet
• Confectioners' sugar for serving
• Pure maple syrup for serving


Recipe

Spread four slices of bread with peanut butter and four slices with jam. Put together to make four peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In a flat dish combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Melt enough butter to coat the bottom. Gently place one sandwich in the egg mixture, turning over to coat both sides. Transfer to the griddle or skillet. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Cook for approximately 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.

To serve, cut each sandwich in half diagonally into triangles. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with a little drizzle of maple syrup.
