Equipment

Ingredients

1 loaf egg bread
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
6 milk or dark chocolate squares
1 cup hot chocolate
3 eggs
1 tbsp unsalted butter

Topping

melted milk or dark chocolate
freshly whipped cream
milk or dark chocolate grated

Instructions

Slice the egg bread into six 2-3 inch-thick slices, then slice off the crusts. Slice a slit into the side of each piece of bread, making pockets.
Fill the pockets with a couple mini marshmallows, followed by one chocolate square, then followed by some more mini marshmallows, just to seal the chocolate inside the bread. Make sure to not over-stuff the pockets and tear the bread.
Pour the hot chocolate and 3 eggs into a shallow dish and whisk together. Place the bread into the dish and soak on each side for 5 minutes.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bread on each side for about 3-4 minutes. The mixture is quite sugary, so make sure to check to see if the sugar is caramelizing too quickly or burning. Then turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and allow the French toast to steam in the residual heat for 5 minutes.
To serve, top with some melted chocolate, freshly whipped cream and grated chocolate and enjoy!

Notes

Storage Directions

In the fridge - Store any leftover Chocolate French Toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

In the freezer - If you find yourself with extra servings, you can freeze them individually in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to one month. To save space, freeze the slices individually spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer them to a bag or container once they are frozen solid.

How to reheat - To reheat, simply pop the French toast in the oven ay 350° until warmed through, and the chocolate is delightfully gooey again.
