# Instructions:
01 -
Spread about one and a half tablespoons of peanut butter on two slices of bread. Top each with another slice and press gently so they stick together.
02 -
Beat the eggs, milk, and a tiny pinch of salt in a shallow dish wide enough to fit a sandwich.
03 -
Soak each sandwich for fifteen to twenty seconds per side. The bread should feel saturated but not falling apart.

Melt one tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for two to three minutes per side until deep golden brown.

Transfer to plates immediately. Top each with a small pat of butter and a generous drizzle of condensed milk while everything is still warm.
