Equipment
- Hand-held electric mixer
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 slices thick white bread preferably stale
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and peanut butter with an electric mixer until blended.
- Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and cinnamon and beat until smooth.
- In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Spread half the pieces with the peanut butter mixture and place the remaining 4 pieces on top to form 4 sandwiches.
- Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Dip each side of each sandwich in egg mixture. Just coat the outside of the bread in egg mixture. Do not completely submerge it. You really don't want the egg mixture to get in the middle.
- For each one, place 1 tablespoon of butter in skillet. Once melted, add French toast and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve with banana slices and maple syrup.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet to restore some of the crispiness.
- Freezing: You can freeze the unprepared sandwiches. Just assemble and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw and cook as directed.
- Pairing: This dish pairs well with fresh fruit, such as strawberries or blueberries, for a refreshing contrast.
- Serving Size: For larger gatherings, you can easily double the recipe and cook in batches.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness of the filling according to your taste. Add more or less powdered sugar as desired.
