How to make Cruchy Peanut Butter French Toast

This is a recipe I created to serve in my own restaurant. Usually I don't like giving out my recipes but this is one of those that must be shared with the world. I combined my two favorite food, French Toast and Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 to 3 Slices Texas Toast
• Peanut Butter
• Crushed Peanuts
• 3 Eggs
• 1/4 Cup Milk or Cream
• Jelly

1. Spread peanut butter on both sides of the Texas Toast. Spread the peanut butter evenly.

2. Dip both sides into the crushed peanuts. Push into the peanuts to coat both sides.

3. Combine the eggs and milk into a simple egg batter. Soak the bread in the egg batter until it is completely soaked and soggy.

4. Once the bread is fully soaked, you can do either one of two things. You can either fry it on a hot griddle or you can bake on a wire rack in the oven. I prefer the griddle.

5. Serve on a large plate with a nice dollop of jelly on top of each slice. Also, serve with strawberry flavored syrup for a better flavor.

Tips & Warnings

• Feel free to use any type of nut or nut butter.

on 11/17/2009 I prefer the traditional French Toast with regular sliced white or wheat bread. Whip together 1 egg, 1 tsp. real vanilla extract and 1 tsp. cinnamon, for every 2 slices of bread. Dunk each slice of bread until bread is thoroughly coated and almost ready to fall apart. Place bread on hot grill til golden-brown on each side and puffy. Removed from heat and sprinkle confectionary sugar on top of toast and a patty of real butter for each slice and serve with an order of crisp, slab bacon, for the sweet/salty thing! Oh yeah!
