Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Roll-Ups (because grown-ups need to feel like kids too)
Let's talk about breakfast - the meal that's supposed to set the tone for your entire day. You know, the one that's usually a mad dash of cereal or a sad, lonely piece of toast because, let's face it, adulting is hard. Well, hold onto your spatulas, folks, because today we're diving into the world of Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Roll-Ups. Yes, you read that right. It's a thing. And yes, it is as ridiculous and delicious as it sounds.
So, picture this: slices of bread, just sitting there, begging to be something more. Clearly, spreading peanut butter and jelly on them like a normal human being wasn't enough. No, they needed to be flattened with a rolling pin. Because what's more fun than taking out your morning frustrations on innocent slices of bread? Exactly.
Once your bread is sufficiently squished, you slather on the peanut butter and jelly. But not just any slathering—channel your inner child and go wild. This is not the time for restraint. If it's not oozing out the sides, you're doing it wrong. Next, you roll up the bread as tightly as you can, pretending you're rolling away all your life's problems. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work, but it does make for a neat little roll-up.
Now comes the messy part. In a bowl, whisk together two eggs and a quarter cup of milk. This concoction is essentially a breakfast potion that transforms your humble roll-ups into something that resembles French toast. Heat some butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat because we all know breakfast isn't worth eating unless it's cooked in a good amount of fat.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure they're thoroughly soaked. We're not here for half-hearted efforts. Throw them into the skillet and cook until they're golden brown on all sides. This part requires some patience and attention, which, let's be real, is a lot to ask first thing in the morning.
Finally, you plate these glorious roll-ups and, because why not, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of syrup. At this point, you might as well go all out. You've already committed to a breakfast that's half dessert, half childhood nostalgia trip.
And there you have it. Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Roll-Ups. The perfect breakfast for when you want to feel like a kid again while simultaneously pretending you're a gourmet chef. Serve warm, and try not to think about all the adult responsibilities waiting for you after breakfast.
So, next time you're feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of making toast, remember this recipe. It's unnecessarily complicated, indulgently sweet, and the perfect way to procrastinate starting your day. Enjoy!
