Jam Jelly Doughnut French Toast

Jam Jelly Doughnut French Toast Recipe

Ingredients

For the French Toast:

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or any preferred type)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work well)
• Butter or oil for frying

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup of your favorite jam or jelly (strawberry, raspberry, grape, etc.)

For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a small bowl, stir the jam or jelly to soften it and make it easier to spread.
2. Make the French Toast Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
3. Assemble the French Toast:
   • Take one slice of bread and spread a generous layer of jam or jelly on one side. Place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and jam.
4. Dip the Sandwiches:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or oil.
   • Dip each jam-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked.
5. Cook the French Toast:
   • Place the dipped sandwiches onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
6. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
   • In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon (if using).
7. Coat the French Toast:
   • While the French toast is still warm, dip each piece into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating both sides evenly. For a lighter option, you can dust the French toast with powdered sugar instead.
8. Serve:
   • Serve the Jam Jelly Doughnut French Toast warm, optionally topped with a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also drizzle with additional syrup or garnish with fresh berries.

Tips

• • For an extra indulgent twist, add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
  • Use a variety of jams or jellies for different flavor combinations.
  • Serve with a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
