Preparation

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 200° F. In a large bowl, lightly beat together the milk, eggs and cinnamon. In a separate small bowl stir together peanut butter and icing sugar.
  2. Put a dollop of peanut butter icing sugar mixture in the center of four (4) pieces of challah, then add a dollop of Welch’s Concord Grape Jam on top. Top each piece of challah with another piece of challah to seal the PB&J inside.
  3. Carefully dip peanut butter-stuffed challah on both sides in the milk mixture.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted and frothy add challah in batches. Cook until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cooked French toast to a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Keep cooked French toast warm in oven and continue to cook remaining French toast.
  5. Divide PB&J French toast between plates and top with icing sugar and maple syrup.
