Peanut butter and Jelly French Toast

Peanut butter and jelly isn’t just for lunchboxes anymore. This French toast version takes everything you love about the classic combo, and gives it a live fire upgrade. Soaked in a creamy vanilla custard and griddled on your Kamado Joe until golden and crisp, it’s breakfast nostalgia turned backyard gourmet.

Your Kamado Joe brings a whole new dimension to French toast. The cast iron griddle delivers the perfect sizzle for caramelizing that custard-soaked bread, while the ceramic dome traps heat like an oven for even cooking and rich flavor. Bonus: the subtle hint of smoke gives each bite a little something extra.

Tips:

• Thick Bread Holds Up: Use thick-cut white bread to absorb custard without falling apart.

• Don’t Skip the Peanuts: They add just the right crunch and balance to all that gooey goodness.

• Preheat the Cast Iron: A hot griddle gives you that golden exterior right away.

• Top Like a Pro: Fresh berries, powdered sugar, and extra peanuts add texture and brightness.

Instructions

1. 01

   Heat your Kamado Joe to 375–425°F. Set a cast iron griddle at the highest level of the Divide & Conquer system and allow it to preheat.

2. 02

   Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and top with chopped peanuts. Spread jelly on a second slice and press together to make a sandwich. Repeat for two sandwiches.

3. 03

   Whisk together the vanilla coffee creamer and eggs in a shallow dish. Soak each sandwich thoroughly on both sides. While soaking, melt butter across the hot cast iron surface.

4. 04

   Place the soaked sandwiches on the griddle. Close the Kamado Joe dome and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

5. 05

   Remove from the grill and slice each sandwich diagonally. Top with fresh berries, chopped peanuts, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
