🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First thing's first, let's get that bread ready! Grab your favorite bread (I like challah, but any sturdy bread will work) and slice it up into thick slices. About 1-inch thick is perfect, but hey, it's your toast; do what makes you happy!
- Now for the eggy goodness! In a large bowl, crack in those eggs and whisk them vigorously. You want those yolks nice and incorporated with the whites. Think of it as a tiny egg workout!
- Next up is the creamy dreamy part. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the whisked eggs. Don't be shy with that vanilla; a good dash is key!
- In a separate bowl, mash up those peanut butter cups. I like using a fork, it gives it that nice, chunky texture, you know the one. Don't over-mash them, though; some peanut butter cup chunks are essential!
- Time to assemble! Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are nicely coated. Don't soak it for too long, or it'll get soggy (we're aiming for golden perfection, not a soggy mess!).
- Now, generously coat each soaked bread slice with the mashed peanut butter cups. Get creative! Some slices can be fully covered, while others have a sprinkle here and there.
- Heat up your skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or oil to the pan; this prevents sticking. I find that butter brings a little extra flavor, but oil works wonders too.
- Carefully place the peanut butter cup coated bread into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they're perfectly golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep an eye on them; they burn quickly, so keep your spatula handy to flip them over!
- Once they are golden brown and cooked through, carefully remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Drizzle with your favorite syrup or more peanut butter and enjoy your masterpiece!
- Optional: For extra crispy French toast, you can pop them into a preheated toaster oven for another minute or two!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter cups to your liking. More is always better, right?
- You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth and flavor
- Serve immediately with your favorite syrup for an extra indulgence!
