Ingredients
8 slices white bread
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup grape jelly or strawberry jam
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Spread peanut butter on 4 slices of bread, then spread jelly on the remaining 4 slices. Press a peanut butter slice and a jelly slice together to form 4 sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter, letting it melt and foam.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, allowing excess to drip off.
Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.
Serve warm, optionally with extra jelly or maple syrup.
Tips
Use day-old bread for better absorption and less sogginess.
Adjust sweetness by using natural peanut butter and low-sugar jelly.
Keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
