Chef notes

Robert Rosenthal, chef and cookbook author of Short Order Dad: One Guy’s Guide to Making Food Fun and Hassle-Free, is the ultimate personal chef to his two daughters, who named him Short Order Dad. A former ad exec and stand up comedian, he’s helping dads across the country figure out how to cook easy and delicious meals for their families. Here, Short Order Dad shares a super simple and satisfying update to classic French toast.

“What could possibly be bad about combining creamy peanut butter with the sweet, fluffy goodness of French toast? Nothing. There’s more than one way to do it, and as you know by now, I’m opting for the less complicated. That means that instead of stuffing two slices of bread with peanut butter, you blend the peanut butter directly into the egg mixture, drop in a couple of other flavor accents, and then soak your bread and cook it up as you always would. This stuff rocks!”
