Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
Start by taking slices of bread and cut each slice in half diagonally. This will help them fit better in the skillet.
Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended.
Step 3: Dip the Bread
Take each piece of bread and dip it in the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow the excess mixture to drip off.
Step 4: Heat the Skillet
Place a skillet or frying pan on medium heat and add a bit of butter to melt. Ensure the butter covers the bottom of the skillet for an even cook.
Step 5: Cook the Bread
Place the dipped bread pieces in the skillet, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
Step 6: Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. This mixture will be used as a spread between the layers.
Step 7: Assemble the French Toast
Once the toast is cooked, spread the peanut butter mixture on one piece of toast and top it with another piece to create a sandwich. Repeat this for all the toasted bread.
Step 8: Serve
Serve the assembled peanut butter cup French toast warm. You can drizzle it with chocolate syrup and sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top for added flavor.
Notes
Note 1: Bread Choice
Use thick-cut bread for a denser texture and to hold up well during cooking.
Note 2: Sweetness Adjustment
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the peanut butter mixture according to your taste preference.
Note 3: Cooking Heat
Monitor the heat while cooking to prevent the bread from burning; adjust as necessary.
Note 4: Toppings
Feel free to add toppings like whipped cream, banana slices, or even ice cream for a decadent dessert variation.
