• 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 8 slices white bread
• 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• Step 2In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Dip both sides of sandwiches in egg mixture and add to skillet (if necessary, work in batches, adding more butter and reducing heat to medium after first batch). Cook until undersides are golden, 2 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes. To serve, dust sandwiches with confectioners’ sugar and top with strawberries.

Cook’s Notes

Small Jobs for Little Hands

• You slice the strawberries; they mix in the sugar.
• Teach kids how to crack eggs, then watch them whisk in the sugar, milk, and vanilla.
• A butter knife is safe for young chefs and great for spreading peanut butter.

Cook’s Notes

Any creamy, smooth nut butter will work in this recipe — give almond or cashew butter a try. You can also swap the strawberries for your family’s favorite berry.

Peanut Butter Crunch French Toast

Total Time:

30 mins

Yield:

8 pieces

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• Sixteen 1/2-inch-thick slices brioche
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 4 cups cornflakes, finely crushed
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
• 4 cups mixed berries
• Maple syrup, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250°. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Spread 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter on each of 8 slices of brioche and cover with the remaining 8 slices, making sandwiches.
2. In a pie plate, beat the eggs with the cream and vanilla. In another pie plate, spread the crushed cornflakes. Lightly soak the sandwiches in the egg mixture, then dredge in the cornflakes, pressing to help them adhere. Transfer the sandwiches to the baking sheet.
3. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a very large skillet. Add 4 of the sandwiches and cook over moderate heat until golden and crisp on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the half-cooked sandwiches to the baking sheet. Add another tablespoon of the butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches back into the skillet and cook until golden and crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet and cook the remaining sandwiches. Transfer the French toast to plates and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Top with the berries and drizzle with maple syrup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Bread is Best for French Toast?

Thick-cut bread is the best for making French toast because it holds up well in the egg mixture without falling apart when cooking. I recommend using a Texas Toast or Challah bread, but you can also use thick-sliced white sandwich bread. If you are looking to add some extra flavor to your French toast, try using special flavored bread, like cinnamon raisin bread, strawberry swirl, or Brioche bread.

What Should I Top This French Toast With?

When it comes to French toast, the sky is the limit. I always top my french toast with homemade raspberry or strawberry jam. Adding fresh fruit brings together the fruity flavors of the jelly with your toppings on this french toast. When I am looking for a basic and more traditional topping for this peanut butter and jelly french toast, Sometimes I add maple syrup, powdered sugar or whipped cream on top, too.

Can You Make PB&J French Toast in Advance?

Yes, you can make PB&J French toast in advance. It is a great way to have the french toast on hand whenever you want it, even if you do not have time to make it fresh each morning. Just cook it according to the instructions below, then let it cool and store it in an airtight container, wrapped in plastic or in a freezer bag, in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to eat it, just heat it up in the microwave or in a pan on the stove.

Can I Freeze Homemade French Toast?

Yes! Once you prepare the French toast, just let it cool completely before you then wrap it in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag or storage container. It is best when toasted in a skillet before serving.

What Should I Serve with French Toast?

French toast is one of those breakfast foods that can be served simply or as part of a larger breakfast. It’s easy to make it part of a brunch buffet with some of these sweet and savory brunch recipes or to serve alone.

• You can serve the french toast as is or with a side of fruit.
• Breakfast meats are always a good option. Bacon, sausage or ham are all good ideas to add to the the french toast. I especcially like making this oven baked bacon since it is easy and doesn’t make as big a mess.
• Eggs, like basic fried eggs or scrambled eggs are a good idea, or you can get more elaborate like omelettes.
• This Instant Pot yogurt or any of your favorite store-bought yogurst are a great addition with calcium and protein.

Depending upon when you serve this recipe, you may want to add more or less to the meal. It can even be a fun snack for after school for the kids. Adding in the peanut butter makes it a bit better or them with the added protein in the mix!
