Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for frying
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the chocolate egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated and absorbed.
- Allow excess mixture to drip off each bread slice before placing it onto the heated skillet.
- Cook each slice for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the chocolate mixture is set.
- Watch carefully to prevent burning, adjusting heat if necessary to achieve an even golden color.
- Transfer cooked French toast to a serving plate and repeat the process with remaining bread slices.
- Once all slices are cooked, dust generously with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sifter.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by additional chocolate syrup or fresh berries.
Tips
- Choose the right bread: Use slightly stale or day-old bread as it absorbs the chocolate mixture better without falling apart.
- Whisk thoroughly: Ensure your egg, milk, and chocolate syrup mixture is completely smooth to prevent lumpy coating.
- Temperature control: Keep your skillet at medium heat to achieve an even, golden-brown color without burning.
- Don't oversoak: Quickly dip bread slices to coat evenly, but avoid soaking too long to prevent soggy toast.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle for the best results and easiest flipping.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and warmth.
- Get creative with toppings: Try fresh berries, whipped cream, or extra chocolate drizzle for added indulgence.
