Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate (chopped or chocolate chips)
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soaked.
Place the coated slice onto the hot skillet. Repeat the process with another slice of bread, depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.
Once all slices are cooked, evenly sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate across the warm French toast slices. Allow the chocolate to soften and melt slightly.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the chocolate-covered French toast for added crunch and flavor.
Dust the French toast with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and garnish.
Drizzle with warm maple syrup just before serving. Enjoy your French toast with chocolate and almonds while still warm!
