Let’s make it.

Spread peanut butter between pairs of bread slices and press edges gently.
Beat eggs with milk in a shallow dish. Dip sandwiches on both sides without soaking them to collapse.
Melt butter in batches over medium-low heat and fry sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until golden and egg coating reaches 71°C.
Cut into triangles and serve with a little syrup.
