Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick-cut white bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preparing the Bread
First, you'll need to prepare the bread. Cut a slit into the center of each slice of bread, making sure not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket for the chocolate. Place the slices of bread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
Making the Filling
Next, you'll need to make the filling. Place the chopped chocolate into a heat-safe bowl. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, pour it over the chopped chocolate. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and combined.
Once the chocolate is melted, spoon the mixture into the center of each slice of bread. Make sure to evenly divide the chocolate among the slices of bread. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Making the Batter
While the chocolate is hardening, you can make the batter. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined.
Cooking the French Toast
Once the chocolate has hardened, it's time to cook the French toast. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat each side. Place the slices of bread onto the hot skillet and cook until golden brown and crisp on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serving
Once the French toast is cooked, it's time to serve. Sprinkle the French toast with powdered sugar and top with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
