Stuffed Peanut Butter and Black Berry French Toast
The inspiration for this was both the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and the popularity of both peanut butter and mulberries in Zimbabwe. Since I could not find the berries, black berries were the closest substitute. The combination of sweet and salty comes together seamlessly through the gooey French toast, the perfect treat for brunch!

Prep time: 5 MCook time: 20 MTotal time: 25 M
Ingredients:
- 2 large slice brioche
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup mulberries/black berries
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon
Instructions:
- Reduce the berries in the sugar and add the lemon juice.
- When the sauce begins to thicken add water to prevent burning. Crush the berries and continue to mix until it appears to be a jam-like consistency.
- Make an incision in the bread slices (careful not to cut the sides). Stuff each slice with 2 tablespoons of mulberry reduction and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
- In a container or glassware, whisk the vanilla, eggs, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt then wet brioche slices on each side (do not over soak).
- In a greased pan, cook each side of the brioche slices for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat - careful not to burn.
- Slice into halves and serve with icing sugar, fresh berries, and syrup.
