Name: Death By Chocolate French Toast
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 1 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for garnish; 1/2 c. heavy cream; 4 large eggs; 1 c. chocolate milk; 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract; 1 tbsp. cocoa powder; pinch of kosher salt; 1 loaf brioche, sliced 1 " thick; 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided; Whipped cream, for topping

Step 1Make chocolate ganache: Place chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat heavy cream just until it bubbles, about 5 minutes. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips. Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk constantly until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly, then transfer to a Ziploc bag.

Step 2In a shallow baking dish, whisk eggs with chocolate milk, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3Prepare bread: Cut a 2” wide slit into the bottom of each slice to create a deep pocket. Fill each pocket with chocolate ganache. (You should have about half left over for drizzling.)

Step 4Place stuffed bread into the chocolate custard mixture and let soak, 1 minute per side.

Step 5In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook 2 slices bread at a time until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat to cook all slices.

Step 6Top French toast with whipped cream, a drizzle of ganache, and chocolate chips.
