Peanut Butter & Jelly French Toast

This is the ultimate breakfast. So easy, so good. I originally made this for my 1 year old, who ate exactly 0 bites of it and threw it on the floor, so of course that meant lunch for mama.

PB&J is a timeless classic for a reason. It’s perfect. Add an eggy batter, fry it in butter, and top it with cinnamon and vanilla bean powder (no but did you know that actually exists?) and it’s next level perfection. 

You’ll want to use a stiff bread for this (I used whole grain Italian bread from a local bakery). You can also let the bread stale a bit if it’s a softer texture. This just helps hold it together while dipping in the egg and flipping it, and it absorbs the custard better that way.
