More About This Recipe

  • Take French toast to a new level by stuffing it with peanut butter and jelly! Is your inner child cheering like my inner child is cheering with these? As a kid I frequently requested PB & J for lunch ... like every day. I actually still eat it quite often. And French toast? Another fave. So here they are. All grown up and married. What a pair! The options are pretty endless here. Go crunchy or smooth. Strawberry, grape or my personal favorite: Black raspberry jam. It’s simple to customize these to personal preferences and everyone will be happy when the PB & J inside the slices get all melty. Mmm. Cut in half and serve with melted butter and maple syrup for a French toast breakfast, or simply by themselves for a grilled PB & J sammy treat!
