Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 6 pieces milk bread (or Texas toast bread / any thick white bread)
- 4 tbsp smooth peanut butter (or nutella / almond butter )
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- 2 tbsp butter (or as needed)
- sweetened condensed milk (or honey, maple syrup (as needed))
Instructions
- 1
For each sandwich, spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter on two slices of bread, making sure to go from edge to edge. Leave the third slice plain.
- 2
Stack the two peanut-buttered slices together with the peanut butter sides facing up. Place the plain slice on top and gently press so the layers stick. Repeat with the remaining sandwich.
- 3
Slice off the crusts of each sandwich with a bread knife to create a square.
- 4
In a large shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Lightly coat each sandwich in the eggs - don't overcoat or it'll get too mushy to handle!
- 5
Vertically rest the coated sandwiches on a plate as you work on the next step.
- 6
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over low-medium heat, around 300 degrees F. Fry one sandwich on all sides until golden brown - about 1 - 2 minutes on the wider sides and about 30 seconds on the edges. Repeat with the remaining sandwich. Serve hot with butter and condensed milk.
