Carolyn Braden's Stuffed French Toast


This recipe idea comes from Woman's Day magazine (womansday.com)  After making it, I realized how many variations you can make using the basic recipe. I changed their recipe a little and it tasted delicious. Instead of the peanut butter and jelly as filling, try fresh fruit like bananas or strawberries. You could also mix together a little cream cheese and sugar for a creamy filling alternative. Try this recipe and you'll be hooked on breakfast foods forever!

8 slices bread (I used Light Oatmeal Pepperidge Farm)
Creamy Peanut Butter (I used Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter)
Any flavor of jam (I used Smucker's Strawberry, Grape, and Blackberry varieties)
3 eggs
4 tablespoons milk
cooking spray (I used Pam Grilling spray due to it being able to handle high temperatures)
Confectioners sugar, for dusting

Spread peanut butter on each slice of bread. 

Spread jelly down center of each piece. Fold bread in half, pressing the edges to seal.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Dip each of the sandwiches in the egg mixture, turning to coat. Transfer to the skillet and cook until golden brown. Dust with confectioners sugar, if desired. I also put a little maple syrup on them with the confectioners sugar.
