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 SauceRecipe
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.
