Chocolate French Toast Recipe
Start preparing the chocolate French toast by putting two medium-sized eggs, half a cup of milk or plant-based drink, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract (alternatively, a pinch of vanilla powder) in a bowl.
Beat the ingredients with a fork or a hand whisk until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Place a square of dark chocolate on a slice of white bread or brioche.
Close the toast with another slice of bread.
Press the edges well with your fingers to seal the toast.
Repeat the steps for the other three toasts.
Dip the bread in the mixture of milk and eggs.
Remember to dip the edges too.
Heat a knob of butter in a pan.
Place the toasts inside and cook them for two to three minutes or until a nice golden crust is formed.
Turn the toast with a kitchen spatula and cook the other side for the same amount of time.
Transfer the chocolate French toast to plates.
Serve them immediately, sweetening them with maple syrup as desired.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use a type of bread other than white bread?
Yes, you can use whole wheat bread, multigrain bread, or even brioche for an even more indulgent version. Keep in mind that the type of bread will affect the final texture.
Can I prepare Chocolate French Toast in advance?
Chocolate French Toast is best when freshly made, but you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours. If you want to store them already cooked, you can briefly reheat them in the oven or in a pan.
Can I replace dark chocolate with another type of chocolate?
Yes, you can use milk or white chocolate, but keep in mind that the taste will be sweeter. Dark chocolate better balances the overall sweetness of the dish.
Can I bake French Toast instead of cooking it in a pan?
Yes, you can bake them at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning. The texture will be slightly different, but they’ll still be delicious.
For a truly special breakfast, serve chocolate French toast with Caramel Frappuccino.
