Ingredients
Bread and Filling
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast)
- 1 cup cooked beef, thinly sliced or shredded
- 1/3 cup blackberry jam or blackberry preserves
Egg Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread blackberry jam evenly on two slices of bread. Add the cooked beef evenly over the jam, then top each with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.
- Dip Sandwiches: Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated and soaked for a few seconds to absorb the flavors.
- Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the cooking surface evenly.
- Cook Sandwiches: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the egg coating is cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to rest briefly to let the flavors settle. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for a hint of sweetness and serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- Brie or cream cheese can be added inside the sandwich for extra richness and creaminess.
- Fresh blackberries can be served on the side to enhance the blackberry flavor and add freshness.
