Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed French Toast! It’s all the things you love about the classic sandwich but stuffed inside thick slices of challah.
This breakfast deliciousness is in honor of it being National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Why not stuff the beloved sandwich condiments into some thick slices of challah to celebrate?
The pb & j is my personal favorite childhood sandwich and is now my new favorite adult breakfast. Not that you need to be an adult to enjoy this… or that I truly consider myself an adult.
While I’m aware I’m a day late… it’s really never too late to celebrate a holiday. Especially when a holiday is revolved around food.
You could even go the extra mile with these and make your very own peanut butter {or honey roasted peanut butter} and jelly or jam. Either way you go, this stuffed French toast is easy and crazy delicious.
What I love most is that the peanut butter and jelly both get all melt-y and gooey while they griddle away in a pan of butter. You really don’t even need syrup…. just a fork and maybe a bib?
