Step 1

Prepare the sandwich. Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of peanut butter on one side of each slice. Make sure the edges have less peanut butter than the center to avoid leaking. If adding a third layer, make sure to add peanut butter on both sides. Close the sandwich and trim off the crust. Repeat for all the remaining slices.

Step 2

Mix the egg mixture. In a shallow bowl, whisk to combine the milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

Soak the sandwich. Soak the peanut butter bread for 30 seconds on each side.

Step 4

Cook the toast. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the soaked bread to the pan, cover with a lid and cook on medium low until golden brown on the underside, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the bread and cook on the other side, uncovered until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Then sear the edges for a crispy uniform look.

Step 5

Serve. Serve the Hong Kong French toast with a drizzle of condensed milk and a slab of butter. Enjoy!
