Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices whole wheat bread or gluten free alternative
- ¼ cup (or more) No Sugar Added SunButter
- ½ cup sliced strawberries
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk or non-dairy alternative
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, divided (may substitute oil for dairy free alternative)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, additional fresh fruit
Instructions
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of SunButter on each slice of bread. Top 4 of those slices with sliced strawberries. Create sandwiches by topping the slices with strawberries with a plain slice of bread with SunButter. Set sandwiches aside.
- In a shallow bowl whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and salt.
- Dip a sandwich, one at a time, into the egg mixture to coat well. Don’t leave in the mixture too long or the bread will start to fall apart.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat with butter just until coated (not the entire tablespoon). Once the skillet is hot, cook sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, buttering the skillet before you cook each one.
- Enjoy warm, served with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream and more fresh fruit on top!
