Ingredients

🍞 3 slices of white sandwich bread
🥜 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
🥚 2 eggs
🛢️ Enough cooking oil for deep frying
🧈 1 small pat of butter
🥛 2 tablespoons condensed milk

Instructions

1- Prepare Sandwich:

• Spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter evenly across one slice of white sandwich bread.
• Place the second slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
• Trim off all crusts from the sandwich to ensure a soft interior texture.

2- Create Egg Wash:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs to prepare an egg wash.
• Fully immerse the peanut butter sandwich in the egg wash, ensuring thorough coating on all sides.

3- Frying:

• Heat enough cooking oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully place the egg-coated sandwich into the hot oil.
• Deep fry, turning occasionally, until all sides are evenly golden brown and crispy.

4- Drain and Serve:

• Remove the French toast from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Move the French toast onto a serving plate.
• Top with a small pat of butter and drizzle generously with condensed milk.
• Cut into smaller pieces if desired and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips:

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the sandwich, as this prevents the bread from absorbing too much oil and becoming soggy.
• Use thick-cut white bread for best results, as it holds the sandwich together well during frying.
