In a shallow dish combine the two eggs, kosher salt, vanilla and whole milk. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Using a paring knife, carefully make an inch or so incision in the tops of each slice to create a pocket.
3

Smear the insides of the pockets with peanut butter and jelly, using more or less as desired.
4

In a skillet or on a griddle pan, melt a tablespoon of butter.
5

Dip both sides of the stuffed French toast in the egg mixture and place in the hot buttered skillet. Cook until golden, flip and repeat with the remaining stuffed slices.
6

Serve with butter and maple syrup for French toast, or simply by themselves as a grilled PB & J sandwich.

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!
