Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s start making the cream sandwiches. On one slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of your favorite jam, like strawberry jam, in the center.
Step 2
On top of the jam, add 1 tablespoon each of hazelnut cream, cream cheese, and peanut butter. Then, cover with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. If you want a neater shape, you can press down with a mug or a cookie cutter to trim the edges.
Step 3
Arrange the prepared bread sandwiches on a rack or in your air fryer basket. It’s best to leave some space between them so they don’t stick together.
Step 4
Melt the 20g of butter (either in the microwave or gently on the stovetop) and brush it evenly over the top of the sandwiches. This will give them a richer flavor and a beautiful golden-brown color after cooking.
Step 5
Place the sandwiches in a preheated air fryer set to 180°C (350°F) for 7 minutes. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
Step 6
Your buttered and golden-brown bread sandwiches are ready! The combination of the crispy exterior and the creamy filling is absolutely delightful. They make a fantastic snack for children or a lovely addition to your tea time.
Step 7
Now, let’s use the leftover bread crusts to make some crispy French toast sticks! First, cut the bread crusts into bite-sized pieces.
Step 8
In a bowl, combine the cut bread crusts with 3 tablespoons of cooking oil and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Toss everything together until evenly coated. If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
Step 9
Place the oil and sugar-coated bread crusts into the preheated air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 7 minutes. Flipping them halfway through will help them crisp up evenly.
Step 10
Air fryer models can vary, so keep an eye on them. Your French toast sticks are done when they achieve a nice golden-brown color, similar to the picture. These crunchy bread sticks are another hit with kids!
