Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 large pete and gerry's organic eggs
- 2/3 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon butter, divided
- 2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 8 thick slices of french bread (preferably day-old or stale)
Directions
- In a wide, shallow bowl or plate, add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Mix together with a spoon to combine.
- In a small pot, add the semi sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, ground cinnamon and vanilla.
- Heat on the stove over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has fully melted.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
- Whisk together until fully combined and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon each butter and olive oil.
- While the butter and oil heat up, dip two slices of bread into the egg mixture to coat both sides.
- The bread should absorb some of the egg, but leaving it too long will result in soggy French toast.
- Shake off any excess egg mixture and cook bread on both sides until egg is cooked through and outside is lightly browned, about two minutes per side.
- Dip each cooked bread slice into the cinnamon sugar mixture and coat both sides.
- Place on a plate or sheet pan and loosely tent it with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Repeat steps four through seven to cook remaining French toast.
- Serve immediately with chocolate sauce and more cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Enjoy!
