Servings: 4 toast sticks
Ingredients
- 3 slices whole wheat bread opt for large, soft slices
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp blueberry chia jam or jam of choice!
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut off the crusts from the slices of bread and set aside.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on one slice of bread. Top this with a second slide of bread.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of jelly on top of the second slice of bread. Top this with a third slice of bread to form a 3 layer sandwich. Slice the sandwich into 4 strips.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter to melt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, and ground cinnamon to form the custard.
- Dip each sandwich strip into the custard mixture until it is coated on all sides.
- Shake off any excess batter and cook the strips until golden on all 4 sides.
Notes
- Use soft, large pieces of bread that are easy to slice into strips.
