Paula Deen: "Chocolate Celebration"



List of Ingredients



• 1 quart strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  
• 3 Tbsp sugar, divided
  
• 1 cup milk
  
• 3 large eggs
  
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  
• 2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
  
• 2 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
  
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
  
• 12 (½-inch-thick) slices Challah bread
  
• ¼ cup butter
  
• Garnish: confectioners' sugar
  






Instructions



1. In a medium bowl, combine strawberries and 2 tablespoons sugar; cover and chill for 15 minutes. In a shallow dish, whisk together milk, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and eggs; set aside.
   
   
2. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, chocolate, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of six bread slices. Cover with remaining bread slices to make a sandwich. Dip sandwiches, one at a time, in milk mixture.
   
   
3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sandwiches, in batches, if necessary, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Serve topped with sugared strawberries. Garnish with confectioners' sugar.
