Instructions
1
Begin by spreading 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each slice of bread. Evenly distribute the mini chocolate chips among 4 slices, then top each with another slice of bread, peanut butter side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
2
In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Gently soak each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring they are saturated (about 5 seconds each). Place the soaked sandwiches on a large platter in a single layer.
3
In a small saucepan, combine the grape jam and 3 tablespoons of water. Heat over low flame, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warmed through and smooth. This will serve as your jam syrup.
4
In a large skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Carefully add half of the sandwiches to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side. Once done, repeat with the remaining butter and sandwiches.
5
Finally, slice the French toast sandwiches and serve them warm, drizzled with the homemade jam syrup and topped with a generous amount of whipped cream for an extra treat.
