Strawberry Chocolate French Toast
Strawberry Chocolate French Toast elevates your brunch game.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 quart fresh strawberries thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
- 1 cup milk I used 2%
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 4 ounce bar milk chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 1/2 inch thick slices challah bread
- 1/4 cup butter
- Confectioners' sugar for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine strawberries and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together milk, eggs and remaining granulated sugar.
- In a small bowl combine softened cream cheese, chopped chocolate, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread cream cheese mixture over one side of 6 slices of challah bread. Top with remaining plain challah bread slices. Dip sandwiches, one at a time, in egg mixture.
- On a flat griddle pan or in a large skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Add French toast sandwiches, a couple at a time and cook until lightly browned, 4 - 5 minutes, and until cream cheese mixture starts to ooze just a bit.
- Serve sugared strawberries and a dusting of confectioners' sugar over each French toast sandwich.
Notes
The original recipe used semisweet chocolate. I used milk chocolate because we prefer it.
