Here is a decadent French toast for a special occasion...or for a weekend treat. Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream |
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped |
3 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 loaf of egg, white, or brioche bread, in 1/2-inch-thick slices |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling |
Directions:
1. Place the cream and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Microwave until the chocolate is soft, about 1 minute.
3. Stir to combine. Let cool.
4. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla and chocolate mixture. **(The mixture may be made ahead to this point.
5. Cover, and refrigerated overnight.
6. Give it a good stir before using.)**
7. Soak the bread in the egg mixture for about 5 minutes, turning halfway through to coat well.
8. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
9. Cook 2 or 3 slices of bread at a time, until the bread is toasted and firm. Sprinkle each slice generously with confectioners' sugar.
10. Turn over, and cook until crisp. Serve warm.
