Chocolate French Toast
It’s times like these when the semester is finished and I’ve got assignments instead of desserts on my plate, where I like to resort to basic and simple dessert making. Yes, the type of desserts that only use about five or so ingredients that can literally take about 10 minutes to make and still be comforting and fancy as any other dessert would.
Normally French toast would use Brioche slices, but since we’re going for quick and simple, this particular dessert uses regular slices of bread. I’ve seen different types of French toasts with cinnamon, peaches and ice cream, or even a berry compote that all look salivating as a breakfast or morning tea dish. In my version, I chose the chocolate. Enough said.
Try this with Nutella if you don’t have chocolate! Baguette slices also work well with French toast, just in case you want something fancier than regular slices of bread.
Chocolate French Toast
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 25g melted butter, plus extra for frying
- 100g dark chocolate, melted
Method
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together egg, milk, sugar and 25g melted butter until combined.
- Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spread melted chocolate evenly on each of the slices of bread. Sandwich together.
- Working quickly, add the butter into the frying pan and swirl to evenly coat the pan. Dip the bread into the egg mixture, one at a time, and cook for roughly 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan and repeat with other bread.
- Cut into triangles and serve.
ENJOY! :D
This looks fantastic!
