Easy Stuffed French Toast

It's easier to stuff your French Toast than you think. This morning I made the PB&J version my step-son used to love so much as a child.

Stuffed French Toast
4 slices firm bread
stuffing ingredients:  Today I used peanut butter and jelly *(see options)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon butter
dash of salt
powdered sugar

Using the bread, peanut butter and jelly, make two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

In a small flat bowl, mix together egg, milk, maple syrup and salt. Cut each sandwich in half and dip into egg mixture.

Over medium heat, melt butter. Fry coated sandwich halves in pan until browned on all sides. Serve with powdered sugar sprinkled atop.

Options:  I say it again and again, but it bears repeating - your options are endless in any recipe! Here are a few suggestions for stuffed French Toast:
* Mixture of 1/4 cup cream cheese and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, with sliced strawberries
   or peaches.
* Lemon curd (very refreshing)
* Peanut butter and sliced banana's.
* Peanut butter and crispy maple bacon.
* Fried (or scrambled!) egg and cheese.
* Goat cheese, toasted chopped pecans, brown sugar, chopped dates or sultanas

Also, in place of powdered sugar, you can try topping your stuffed French Toast with a variety of syrups from maple to lingonberry - any fruit and honey (I love a combo of mango, kiwi and blue berry) - toasted nuts - plain or flavored honey -  jam - Greek yogurt, etc. etc. I could go on for pages. While your sussing your options, I'm going to get eat this gorgeous French Toast before it gets cold. Seeya!
