It's December and everybody is so busy with Christmas decors, gift shopping, and meal planning etc. On top of our daily routine as mothers, we have to squeeze in all of these into our busy schedule. I get you moms out there, it gets overwhelming, and making healthy but affordable snacks for our kids can be stressful sometimes. I mean what else to serve our kids, who want varieties all the time and avoid them saying ' this again?!!"
I'm not claiming I made up this snack, I saw it a few days ago at The Chew, their guest was Ayesha Curry. She said she made this sandwich to her kids all the time. I changed a few things and made my own version of the sandwich. I have done a different version years ago, it was French Toast Grilled Cheese sandwich.
Am I right to say we can never go wrong with peanut butter jelly sandwich? Kids and adult alike love it! It is a healthy snack and affordable. But even kids can get tired of eating it all the time. So when I saw Ayesha Curry French toasting PBJ sandwich, I'm like... why didn't I think of that? Because I thought of French toasting grilled cheese sandwich a long time ago. Anyway, I didn't see much of the show so I didn't know if she put cinnamon on it. And I changed one ingredient, instead of corn flakes, I used Rice Krispies cereal. For two reasons, first, I want to be different and make my own version, and secondly, I ran out of corn flakes and only have Rice Krispies, Cherrios and Frosted Oat Cereal with marshmallows. So Rice Krispies it is.
Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
4 slices white bread (or wheat bread)
1 pc egg
1 cup 2% milk
1 tbsp cinnamon powder
1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Peanut butter
Jelly spread of your choice
Butter
Procedure
Make a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Set aside.
In a bowl, beat the egg, add milk and cinnamon powder.
Soak the sandwich in the egg/milk mixture. Then coat with Rice Krispies
Melt butter in a pan, fry the sandwich. Brown both sides. Approximately 2 minutes each side.

You could also make this recipe with ham and cheese sandwich, cheese and tomato sandwich or whatever sandwich you feel like toasting. It's just so fun experimenting and getting good results!!
