30 minImagine biting through a crispy, cinnamon-kissed crust to discover pockets of sweet jam melting inside. These jam-stuffed French toast triangles are what happens when you marry the comfort of PB&J with the weekend ritual of French toast.
The genius is in the simplicity: bread slices become jam sandwiches, get dunked in egg, then sizzle in a hot skillet until golden and crisp.
The triangular shape makes them fun to eat (kids love the dippable points) and easy to flip. Use any jam or preserves you’ve got lurking in the fridge, from classic strawberry to fancy apricot or even Nutella for chocolate lovers.
Kitchen Tips
- Seal the edges: Press down firmly when making your jam sandwiches so the filling doesn’t leak out during cooking
- Get the heat right: Medium-high heat gives you a crispy exterior without burning, while the inside stays custardy
- Try different jams: Raspberry, blueberry, or even orange marmalade bring totally different flavor profiles
- Make it ahead: Assemble the sandwiches the night before, keep them wrapped in the fridge, then dip and cook in the morning
Variations
- Nutella version: Swap jam for Nutella and top with sliced bananas before closing the sandwich
- Cream cheese upgrade: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese under the jam for a cheesecake-inspired twist
- Savory switch: Skip the jam and use sharp cheddar with a touch of honey mustard for a breakfast sandwich vibe
Ingredients
Directions
Evenly divide and spread preserves on 3 bread slices; top with remaining bread slices to make 3 sandwiches, pressing to seal.

In shallow bowl, combine egg beaters and milk.
Dip each sandwich in egg mixture to coat.
In large skillet or griddle, over medium-high heat, brown sandwiches in margarine until golden brown on both sides.
