Instructions
Creating your own Chocolate French Toast is a simple yet rewarding process. Follow these steps carefully for the best results!
1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and allow it to melt, coating the surface evenly.
3. Soak the Bread: Dunk each slice of bread into the chocolate batter, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is coated but not overly soggy.
4. Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
5. Repeat: Continue the process until all slices of bread have been cooked, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
6. Serve Warm: Once cooked, stack the French Toast on a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with fresh berries and maple syrup.
By following these steps, you will create an incredible batch of Chocolate French Toast that’s perfect for any breakfast table.
