Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Base
- 4 large eggs
- 240 ml whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 8 slices thick bread, such as brioche or challah
S’mores Filling and Topping
- 180 grams chocolate chips
- 50 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 50 grams mini marshmallows
- Butter, for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the flavors are evenly incorporated.
- Cut the bread: Slice each bread piece into quarters. This makes soaking easier and helps the bread pieces cook evenly and fit comfortably during assembly.
- Soak the bread: Dip each quartered bread piece into the egg mixture. Coat both sides lightly without letting the bread become overly soaked to prevent sogginess. Lift each piece and allow excess liquid to drip off before cooking.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and melt it to grease the surface lightly, which helps achieve a golden crust on the toast.
- Cook the bread pieces: Arrange the soaked bread on the pan in batches. Cook each piece for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping carefully to avoid breaking.
- Assemble the s’mores sandwiches: Immediately after cooking, take two pieces of French toast and layer chocolate chips and mini marshmallows between them to form a sandwich. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for texture and flavor if desired.
- Melt the filling: Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side, allowing the chocolate chips to melt and the marshmallows to become gooey and warm without burning.
- Serve: Transfer the s’mores French toast sandwiches to plates. Optionally cut in half for easier eating and serve warm. For extra indulgence, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle maple syrup over the top.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and flavor.
- Be careful not to oversoak bread pieces to prevent sogginess and ensure easy flipping.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning marshmallows and allow the chocolate to melt properly.
- Graham cracker crumbs add authentic s’mores flavor and a nice crunch.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture as marshmallows and chocolate solidify on cooling.
