    Source of Recipe

    List of Ingredients




    6 large eggs
    2 cups whole milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon table salt
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    eight 1/2 inch thick slices of egg bread or brioche
    4 ouces bittersweet/semisweet chocolate
    several fresh mint sprigs for garmish
    1 cup Raspberry Sauce

    Recipe



    1. Beat the eggs with the milk, vanilla, sugar and salt in a large shallow dish.

    2. Working in two batches (you won't be able to make all of the toast in one skillet at one time), melt half your butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Or, if you prefer to work with a griddle, you can heat your griddle to medium-hot.

    3. Dip half the bread slices in the egg mixture until just lightly soaked. Transfer the slices to the skillet and sprinkle the top of each slice with one-fourth of the chocolate. Dip the remaining bread slices in the egg mixture and place each one on top of the chocolate, so it is like a sandwich. Press gently with a spatula so that slices adhere. Turn down the heat to medium and cook, turning once, until well-browned and cooked through, 5 minutes per side.

    4. Remove the toast from skillet and cut them in half (diagonally) and serve them on warmed plates. Spoon a small amount of the raspberry sauce around the toast and garnish with whole raspberries and a sprig of mint.

    Serves 4.
