Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Four 1 1/2-inch-thick slices French bread
1 cup marshmallow creme
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
Nonstick cooking spray, for the grill pan
12 strawberries, halved
1 jar caramel, for serving
Bittersweet chocolate, for shaving
Warm maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

Preheat a grill pan or grill on medium heat.
Make a pocket in each slice of bread and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the marshmallow creme and hazelnut spread until smooth, then stir in the chocolate chips. Fill each pocket with some of the spread.
Whisk together the half-and-half, honey, cinnamon and eggs in a shallow dish. Dip each bread slice in the batter and set aside.
Lightly spray the grill pan with cooking spray. Grill the French toast until well-marked and crisp, being careful not to burn it, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, place the strawberries cut-side down on the grill pan and grill until slightly cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
Transfer the French toast to individual plates, drizzle with caramel, shave over chocolate, top with grilled strawberries and serve alongside the warm syrup.

VANILLA FRENCH TOAST

Vanilla French Toast image

We discovered this easy French toast recipe in Mexico. We couldn't figure out what made the French toast so delicious until we learned the secret was vanilla. Since then, we've added a touch of vanilla to our waffle and pancake recipes, and it makes all the difference. -Joe and Bobbi Schott, Castroville, Texas
