Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 4 slices Thick-cut white bread (shokupan style)
  • 4 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
  • 3 pieces Large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons Condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon Salted butter
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Maple syrup(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim the crusts off the four slices of thick-cut white bread to ensure a uniform shape.

  2. 2

    Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on two of the slices, then top them with the remaining two slices to create two sandwiches.

  3. 3

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides and the edges are thoroughly soaked but not falling apart.

  6. 6

    Carefully place the sandwiches into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until they are deep golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Remove the toast from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels for one minute.

  8. 8

    Place a pat of butter on top of each hot sandwich and drizzle generously with condensed milk before serving immediately.
