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
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soaked.
Step 4
Place the coated slice onto the hot skillet. Repeat the process with another slice of bread, depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 5
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Step 6
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the chocolate-covered French toast for added crunch and flavor.
Step 9
Dust the French toast with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and garnish.
Step 10
Drizzle with warm maple syrup just before serving. Enjoy your French toast with chocolate and almonds while still warm!
