Ingredients

8 slices brioche bread
⅓ cup raspberry jam
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
3 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

Spread 8 slices brioche bread with ⅓ cup raspberry jam, then spread the remaining 4 slices brioche bread with ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter.
Assemble your four peanut butter jelly sandwiches.
In a large dish, whisk together 3 large eggs, ½ cup milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a large frying pan on a medium heat.
Dip a sandwich into the egg mixture, coating it well on both sides.
Once the pan is hot, fry the sandwich until golden on the bottom (about 3 minutes). Then, flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. You should be able to fit two sandwiches in the pan at once.
Drain any excess butter from the French toast on some kitchen paper.
Slice each French toast sandwich in half.
Serve with some chopped peanuts, fresh raspberries, and your favorite syrup if desired.

Notes

You can also switch out the jelly for your favorite variety such as strawberry, cherry, or grape.
Though using brioche is recommended for the best flavor and texture, standard white bread can also work well.
Make sure your pan is preheated over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, and the outside will burn before the inside is cooked. If the pan is too cool, the sandwich won’t get crispy.
Storage: This peanut butter jelly French toast is best enjoyed freshly made, but if you do have any leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in the air fryer or oven until warmed through and crisped up. You can also warm them up in a skillet over low heat. A microwave will also warm them up, but you will lose the crisp on the exterior.
