Ingredients
Bread & Spread
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast)
- 1/3 cup blackberry jam or blackberry preserves
Beef Filling
- 1 cup cooked beef, thinly sliced or shredded
French Toast Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter
Garnish (Optional)
- Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth to create the custard for the French toast.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the blackberry jam evenly on two slices of the thick-cut bread. Then evenly distribute the cooked beef over the jam-covered slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices to complete the sandwiches.
- Dip sandwiches in egg mixture: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but gently to avoid breaking the sandwich.
- Heat the skillet: Place the butter in a skillet over medium heat and allow it to melt and foam, creating a perfect cooking surface.
- Cook the sandwiches: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Rest and serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest briefly to set. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving warm for a tasty finishing touch.
Notes
- For added richness, you can spread brie or cream cheese on the sandwiches before cooking.
- Serve fresh blackberries on the side to complement the blackberry jam and enhance fruity flavors.
