Ingredients
- 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
How to Make Chocolate Drizzled French Toast Stack
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for additional slices.
- Once cooked, stack the French toast on a serving plate, drizzling chocolate sauce generously over the top.
- Finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and elegance.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use day-old bread for the best texture; it absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy.
- For an extra indulgent touch, warm the chocolate sauce slightly before drizzling.
- Experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or hazelnut, for a unique twist.
Easy Variations
- Add sliced bananas or strawberries between the layers of French toast for added flavor and freshness.
- Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- For a nutty flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or Nutella between the layers.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
- Whipped cream or yogurt for extra creaminess.
