Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 slices of bread, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, butter for cooking, and maple syrup for serving.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add the 1/2 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the egg mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of peanut butter with a small amount of the egg mixture (about 2 tablespoons) to make it easier to incorporate. Stir until the peanut butter is smooth and well-blended.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture back into the main bowl with the egg and milk mixture. Whisk until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- While the skillet is heating, dip each slice of bread into the peanut butter egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the coated slices of bread onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- After cooking, remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with any remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the Peanut Butter French Toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture and flavor, opt for thicker slices of bread such as brioche or challah. These types will soak up the peanut butter mixture beautifully without falling apart.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the egg mixture well to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely, resulting in a smooth and creamy coating for your bread.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Cooking the French toast on medium heat allows it to cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust. If the heat is too high, the outside may burn before the inside is cooked.
- Add a Pinch of Salt: A tiny pinch of salt in the peanut butter mixture can enhance the flavor and balance the sweetness of the dish.
- Experiment with Toppings: While maple syrup is a classic choice, consider adding fresh fruits, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Make it Ahead: You can prepare the peanut butter mixture the night before and store it in the fridge. Just dip the bread slices in the morning for a quick and delicious breakfast!
