Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices thick white bread (or brioche)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
Spices and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Cooking and Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Transform bread slices into decadent cookie dough carriers by spreading soft cookie dough between two pieces, creating a luscious center that will melt during cooking.
- Craft a silky egg bath by whisking eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a delicate salt sprinkle until the mixture achieves a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat, allowing butter to melt and create a golden cooking surface that promises crisp edges and tender centers.
- Submerge each bread sandwich completely in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated and absorbing the fragrant liquid.
- Carefully transfer the saturated bread to the sizzling skillet, allowing each side to transform into a rich, caramelized golden-brown surface, monitoring the heat to prevent burning.
- Gently flip the french toast, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the exterior achieves a crisp texture and the internal cookie dough becomes warmly softened.
- Remove the french toast from the skillet and artfully dust with powdered sugar, scattering miniature chocolate chips across the surface for added decadence.
- Accompany the dish with a dollop of whipped cream if desired, creating a luxurious breakfast experience that balances sweet and rich flavors.
Notes
- Choose thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah to prevent soggy texture and hold the cookie dough effectively.
- Freeze the cookie dough between bread slices for 15 minutes before cooking to ensure it stays intact during frying.
- Keep skillet at medium heat to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning the bread or causing cookie dough to burst.
- Swap regular bread with gluten-free alternatives and use vegan cookie dough and egg substitutes for allergen-friendly version.
