Scale
For the French Toast
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 thick slices of bread
- 2 teaspoon butter for frying
For the Chocolate Yogurt Dip
- 1 cup (125ml) plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: Whisk the eggs thoroughly in a bowl, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk again until the mixture is completely blended and slightly frothy.
- Cut the bread (optional): If desired, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the slices of bread. Dip the bread hearts into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Also, dip and cook any scraps for taste.
- Coat the bread slices: If not cutting shapes, simply dip each slice into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly.
- Heat the pan: Melt the butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until bubbly and hot.
- Cook the French Toast: Let excess egg drip off the bread, then carefully place the coated slices in the hot pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter if needed.
- Make the dip: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Arrange the fried French toasts on a plate and serve hot with the chocolate yogurt dip on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional cinnamon or powdered sugar over the French Toast before serving.
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast for best results.
- Adjust sweetness of the dip by adding more or less sugar according to taste.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the bread slices.
