Peanut Butter & Jelly French Toast

I came home from work super early the other day and surprised my kids the other day with these beauties! They were so excited and gobbled them up.  I must admit they were delicious. 

Peanut Butter & Jelly French Toast
apapted from Rachael Ray
10 slices bread
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 Tablespoons butter
Peanut Butter
Jelly or jam
Optional: Maple Syrup
Spread peanut butter and then jelly on 5 of the slices of bread.  Put the other slices on top to make five sandwiches.  Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons of butter.  When the butter is almost melted, dunk two of the sandwiches in the egg batter and let the excess drip off.  Place in the pan. Fry the sandwiches until golden brown on each side about 3-4 minutes per side.  Repeat by melting the rest of the butter and finish cooking the rest of the sandwiches.   Cut sandwiches into 4 sticks each and if desired serve with warm maple syrup. (I ate mine plain!!)
Makes 5 sandwiches but you could possibly make 6 if you want.

*I made half with whole wheat bread and half with white.  The kids did not notice the difference. So next time it is all whole wheat! Yay!!

YUM!!
