Easy Hong Kong Style French Toast (Printable Format)
Golden peanut butter-stuffed French toast, crisp outside, soft inside, perfect with butter and sweet drizzle.
# Needed Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
6 slices milk bread or any square-shaped white bread
02 -
4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter, or substitute with Nutella, condensed milk, or any nut butter of choice
03 -
2 large eggs, beaten
04 -
1 cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
→ Toppings
05 -
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
06 -
Sweetened condensed milk as needed, or substitute with honey or maple syrup
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter across two slices of milk bread, leaving one slice plain. Stack the two peanut butter-coated slices with the spread facing upward, then top with the plain slice. Briefly press together for cohesion. Repeat this process with the remaining bread.
02 -
Remove crusts from the assembled sandwiches using a bread knife to create a clean, square shape.
03 -
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until thoroughly combined and smooth.
04 -
Lightly dip each sandwich into the beaten eggs, ensuring an even coating without oversaturating. Place coated sandwiches upright on a plate while working through the batch.
05 -
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over low-medium heat (approximately 300°F). Carefully lower one sandwich into the hot oil. Fry all sides until golden and crisp, about 30 seconds per edge and 1-2 minutes per flat surface. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
06 -
Plate French toast hot, topping with butter and a drizzle of condensed milk (or honey or maple syrup as preferred).

01 -
Use day-old bread for optimal texture and to prevent sogginess during frying.
