My son is a huge fan of french toast.  He loves it topped with strawberries, so when I saw this, I immediately knew he would love it!  One Saturday morning I made this for him.  He was in heaven.  My husband wasn’t sure how the strawberries and peanut butter and maple syrup would go together, but it worked.  My 7 year old likes crunchy peanut butter, so that is what I used, but you could use whatever you like.

This is a very filling and somewhat decadent feeling breakfast.  It comes together rather quickly (not much longer than making traditional french toast).  It would be great for a weekend breakfast, or even a fun Thanksgiving breakfast.

I have to admit that I'd be iffy about peanut butter and strawberries, too. Sounds weird. But looks SO good and I'm sure it was!

I adore stuffed french toast, but I've never thought to use peanut butter inside - this sounds fantastic!! Love the strawberries too, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for some decent ones at the store.

Unlike your son, I'm not a huge fan of French toast, but I have to tell you, that dish looks amazing. I think I would love to have that plopped down in front of me some morning. Wow.
