Ingredients

6 slices milk bread
4 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Toppings:

2 tablespoon butter or as needed
sweetened condensed milk as needed

Instructions

Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter on two slices of bread from edge to edge. Leave the third slice plain.
Stack two peanut-buttered slices with the peanut butter sides facing up, then place a plain slice on top. Gently press the layers together. Repeat with the remaining 3 slices to make the second sandwich.
Use a bread knife to slice off the crusts, creating neat squares.
In a large shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Lightly coat each sandwich in the egg mixture. Avoid overcoating the bread, or it will become too soft to handle.
Stand the coated sandwiches upright on a plate while preparing the next steps.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry each sandwich until golden brown on all sides. Lift out with tongs and rest on a wire rack to drain. Return the oil to 350°F before frying the remaining sandwich. Serve immediately with butter and a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk.
