Instructions

  • Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Assemble the Toast

    • Spread peanut butter (or your preferred filling) evenly on one slice of bread.
    • Place the second slice of bread on top, making a sandwich.

    2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

    • In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

    3. Coat the Toast

    • Dip the entire sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated on all sides.

    4. Fry Until Golden & Crispy

    • Heat vegetable oil and butter in a pan over medium heat.
    • Once hot, carefully place the coated sandwich into the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
    • Use tongs or a spatula to flip, making sure all sides are evenly fried.

    5. Drain & Serve

    • Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
    • Cut into thick slices or leave whole for that classic stacked look.

    6. Drizzle & Enjoy!

    • Generously drizzle with sweetened condensed milk, honey, or syrup.
    • Sprinkle with powdered sugar or crushed nuts for extra crunch.
    • Serve hot and crispy, and enjoy!
