PB&J French Toast

Tonights dinner came out of Rachael Ray's yum-o cookbook. (yes I gave her another chance) This recipe didn't have tons of shallots in it so I deemed it safe.

Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast

Ingredients:

8 slices whole grain bread
4tbs peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
4tbs Jelly
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2tsps pure vanilla extract
4tbs butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup, warm.

Instructions:
 Spread 4 slices of the bread with peanut butter and the other 4 with jelly to make four PB&J sandwiches. Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl.

Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2tbs of the butter. When the butter is almost melted, dunk two of the sammies into the egg batter and let the excess drip off. Place in the pan. Fry the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining 2 sanwiches. Cut the french toast sandwiches into 4 sticks apiece and serve with warm maple syrup.
Serves 4.

Browning the sandwiches

One Side all done!

  

The finished product.




This smelt REALLY good when it was cooking. I figured you cant really go wrong with PB&J sandwiches and peanut butter warm is just delicious.

Unfortunately 3 year old gave it the immediate upon entry "YUCK" and then spit it out. She of course then walked around the house for 5 minutes proclaiming its nastiness. So this recipe got a big fat FAIL from her.

The 6 year old gobbled the whole thing up,and gave it plenty of compliments along the way, he even stole a stick from 3's plate. So all in all its a good recipe, I thought it was pretty good. The 3 year old just wants to make sure this blog goes on for a long time.
