Ingredients
2 slices of thick-cut bread of your choice
2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup of mini-marshmallows
4 tablespoons of butter
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Steps
1. Preheat a griddle on medium high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
2. Place a piece of bread on a cutting board and spread 1 tablespoon of butter over the surface of the bread. Place it onto the griddle and cook until golden brown, flipping once.
3. Create a pocket by using a sharp knife to cut diagonally across the top of the bread and carefully pressing the bread together to create a pocket.
4. Fill the pocket with chocolate chips and marshmallows, adding more to the sides and top of the pocket as needed.
5. Close the pocket with the other piece of bread and repeat the butter step with the outside of the stuffed toast.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cream, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
7. Place the stuffed French toast in the egg mixture and let it soak for 3-4 minutes.
8. Place the soaked French toast on the griddle and cook until both sides are golden and the marshmallows are melted and gooey, about 5 minutes per side.
9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, and/or fresh berries.
Tips & Tricks
– To make the French toast even more indulgent, try swapping out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or peanut butter cups.
– In order to ensure an evenly cooked French toast, make sure to press down the bread while flipping it.
– If you’re trying to make the French toast faster, pre-melt the butter and pour it over the stuffed sides of the toast prior to cooking on the griddle.
– For a lighter version, use egg whites instead of full eggs and replace the heavy cream with skim or almond milk.
