Description

This Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast recipe offers a delicious twist on the classic PB&J sandwich, transforming it into a warm, comforting breakfast treat. Thick slices of bread are sandwiched with creamy peanut butter and sweet fruit jelly, then dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg batter and cooked to golden perfection on the stovetop. Served with optional powdered sugar and fresh fruit, this recipe is perfect for a kid-friendly breakfast or an easy brunch option.

Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 8 slices of thick bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup fruit jelly or jam (strawberry or grape)

Batter Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sandwiches: Spread creamy peanut butter on 4 slices of thick bread and your choice of fruit jelly on the remaining 4 slices. Press each peanut butter slice and jelly slice together to form 4 sandwiches.
  2. Make the egg batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter to coat the cooking surface.
  4. Dip the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated but not soggy.
  5. Cook the French toast: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Add more butter as needed between batches to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  6. Serve: Slice the cooked French toast sandwiches in half and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh fruit for a delightful presentation and extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for added texture.
  • Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter to make the recipe nut-free.
  • Try different fruit jellies like raspberry or blackberry for variety.
