Peanut Butter-Chocolate Stuffed French Toast with Jam Syrup

By dkjohnson

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 8 slices bread
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch salt
• 2/3 cup grape jam or jelly
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Whipped cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1.Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter on each bread slice. Divide the chocolate chips among 4 slices; top with the remaining bread slices, peanut butter side down, to make 4 sandwiches.

2.In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Soak each sandwich in the egg mixture until saturated, about 5 seconds. Transfer the sandwiches to a large platter in a single layer.

3.In a small saucepan, cook the jam and 3 tablespoons water over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm and smooth.

4.In a large skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add half of the sandwiches and cook until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining butter and sandwiches. Slice and serve with the whipped cream and jam syrup.
