Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed French Toast Recipe
Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast
Ingredients
- 4 Texas Toast Slices
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp grape jelly
- 2 eggs
- ½ c milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by placing your bread on a flat surface. Place 1 tbsp of peanut butter on two slices, while placing 1 tbsp grape jelly on the other two slices. Put the peanut butter slice face down on top of the jelly. Set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Heat a skillet and melt butter in the skillet until coated.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture. This is just to coat both sides of the bread. You don’t want to smother the bread or it will be soggy.
- Once you’ve dipped the sandwich into the egg mixture, immediately place onto the skillet. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes and flip. The bread will be golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a cutting board. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing in half. Serve dusted with powdered sugar, syrup or even whipped cream!

Tips for Making the Perfect PB&J Stuffed French Toast
- Choose Thick Bread: Texas toast is ideal because it’s thick and holds the filling well, but you can also use any thick-sliced bread.
- Don’t Over-Soak: When dipping the sandwich in the egg mixture, a quick dip is all you need. Too much soaking can make the bread fall apart.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Add fresh fruit, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or even a sprinkle of crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Try Different Fillings: Experiment with other nut butters, such as almond or cashew butter, or switch up the jelly flavor to strawberry, raspberry, or even a berry mix.
Serving Ideas
Serve this peanut butter and jelly stuffed French toast with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced breakfast. It’s also delicious with a glass of milk or orange juice, making it a satisfying, well-rounded meal.
For added sweetness, dust the French toast with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, or add a dollop of whipped cream. You can even top it with fresh berries or banana slices for a fun, fruity addition!
