Recipe | Stuffed French Toast

Chris came to visit for my birthday last weekend, so we decided to make a breakfast that was different than the typical eggs and veggies or oatmeal or granola that we normally have. I bought this "cookie butter" from Trader Joe's and I had been wanting to put it in between two pieces of french toast to make a sort of stuffed french toast. Well, needless to say, but it came out AWESOME, and it took maybe a total of 15 minutes including cook time to assemble two of these beauties for us to devour for breakfast.

For two servings you'll need:

4 slices of your favorite bread
4 tbsp cookie butter
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
A non-stick cooking spray

Set a large skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Whisk your eggs and cinnamon together and pour onto a dish that will allow you to dunk your french toast (like a plate with higher edges so the egg doesn't pour over, or a large shallow bowl). Assemble your cookie butter sandwiches with 2 tbsp of the cookie butter in each. Dunk both sides of the sandwiches in the egg and cinnamon mixture. If your pan is big enough,  you could fit both sandwiches in the pan at the same time. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on both sides, or until the egg is cooked and the bread is golden brown. Serve with maple syrup and a handful of fresh berries on the side and you're set for a delicious breakfast.

Also, this is really more of a technique than a recipe, so if you can't find cookie butter - nutella, peanut butter, or anything else you can imagine, would taste delicious in this recipe.
