- 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 thin slice unsalted butter
- Sliced bananas or strawberries (optional)

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by placing the two slices of soft white bread on a cutting board.
- Spread 2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter on one side of one slice of bread.
- Assemble the toast by stacking the other slice on top.
- Trim the crusts from all sides and set the bread stack aside.
- Prepare the egg mixture by separating the yolk from the egg white and whisking the white until foamy.
- Combine the egg yolk with the whisked egg white gently.
- Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
- Soak the bread in the egg mixture for about one minute.
- Check the oil temperature by adding a bit of the egg mixture; it should bubble.
