Ingredients
  

4 slices of white bread

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Butter, for frying

2 tablespoons ground peanut or almond butter

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Maple syrup or honey, for serving

Optional: sliced bananas or strawberries for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of peanut or almond butter between two slices of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat with the other two slices, making a total of two sandwiches.

      Dip in Egg Mixture: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked.

        Heat the Pan: In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.

          Fry the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Add more butter if needed for crispiness.

            Serve: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey. Add fresh sliced bananas or strawberries if desired.
