Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Challah bread (or brioche)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Dip one slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10-15 seconds per side to absorb the custard. Repeat with one or two more slices, depending on the size of your skillet.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add another tablespoon of butter to the pan as needed when cooking additional batches.
While the French toast is still warm, sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate onto one side of each slice so it begins to melt.
Stack the chocolate-studded French toast slices onto serving plates.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Serve immediately with maple syrup on the side for drizzling.
