Serves6
Ingredients
10 slices white bread
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup strawberry jam
2 cups half and half
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Spread peanut butter on 6 bread slices and jam on the remaining 4. Sandwich together, trim crusts, cut each into quarters and transfer to a baking dish.
Preheat oven to 300F. Whisk together half and half, eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour over the sandwich pieces and let sit 20 minutes, pressing down halfway through so the bread absorbs the custard.
Bake until puffed and golden, 55-60 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Cool 10 minutes, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
