Ingredients
- 1 loaf unsliced white bread, crusts removed
- 140 g (½ cup) smooth peanut butter
- vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 6 eggs
- 50 g butter, cut into small squares
- honey or condensed milk, for drizzling
Instructions
- Cut the bread into 5 cm-thick pieces, then slice each piece half-way through the middle. Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter inside each piece of bread.
- Place the oil in a heavy–based saucepan and heat to 180°C.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. Working 1 or 2 at a time, dip the bread pieces in the oil to lightly coat, then fry until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
- To serve, place a small piece of butter on each piece of French toast, drizzle with honey or condensed milk and serve immediately.
