S’mores French Toast Recipe
Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or any preferred type)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work well)
- Butter or oil for frying
For the S’mores Filling:
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup chocolate spread (such as Nutella) or melted chocolate
- 4 graham crackers, crushed
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate sauce
- 2 graham crackers, crushed
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, stir the chocolate spread until smooth. If using melted chocolate, ensure it is smooth and slightly cooled.
- Crush the graham crackers into small pieces.
- Make the French Toast Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Assemble the French Toast:
- Take one slice of bread and spread a generous layer of marshmallow fluff on one side. On another slice, spread a layer of chocolate spread or melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the chocolate spread. Sandwich the two slices together to create a stuffed French toast. Repeat with the remaining bread and fillings.
- Dip the Sandwiches:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or oil.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked.
- Cook the French Toast:
- Place the dipped sandwiches onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the filling is melted. Add more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
- Prepare the Toppings:
- While the French toast is cooking, lightly toast the mini marshmallows in a skillet or under a broiler until they are golden brown. Alternatively, you can leave them untoasted for a softer texture.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Once the French toast is cooked, place it on a serving plate. Top with a handful of toasted mini marshmallows, a sprinkle of chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and additional crushed graham crackers.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
- Serve:
- Serve the S’mores French Toast warm, allowing the gooey marshmallow and chocolate filling to shine. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee for a perfect breakfast or brunch treat!
Tips
- For an extra indulgent experience, add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of marshmallow fluff and chocolate spread.
- Serve with fresh berries for a hint of freshness to balance the rich flavor
