Chocolate French Toast Casserole - this easy overnight french toast recipe is full of chocolate from the milk to the chocolate chips! It's the perfect indulgent brunch recipe!

Provided by Dorothy Kern

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces day-old bread (sliced into bite size pieces (I used a sourdough loaf))
1 cup chocolate chips
5 large eggs
1 1/4 cups Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spray an 8x11 or 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place bread cubes into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in almondmilk, sugar, and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread and press down lightly with your hands to soak it all up.
  • Let sit for at least 2 hours before baking. If your bread is fresh, you can bake it after 2 hours. If it's more stale, you'll want to let it sit longer. You can also cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake: preheat oven to 350°F. If your casserole has been in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature while the oven preheats. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the casserole is cooked through. (This will take longer if your dish is cold.)
  • Serve warm with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

Chocolate-Hazelnut French Toast with Cinnamon Cereal image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 19-ounce loaf brioche
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of kosher salt
4 large eggs
4 cups cinnamon-flavored cereal, crushed
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more if needed
2 bananas, sliced into thick rounds
Confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Slice the brioche into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices (6 to 8 slices). Lay each slice on its side and cut a 2-inch slit into the bottom of each. Fill the slit with about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
  • Whisk together the milk, vanilla, salt and eggs in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Place the crushed cereal in another baking dish. Dip a slice of the filled brioche into the egg mixture on both sides a few times, making sure the mixture has soaked in, then transfer to the cereal dish and coat with cereal on both sides. Place the bread on a cutting board or plate while finishing dredging the rest. Repeat with the remaining slices, egg mix and cereal.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place as many slices as will fit in the skillet. Cook on one side until the coating is crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a platter. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the skillet and then more slices. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and slices, reserving 2 tablespoons of butter for the bananas.
  • Add the remaining butter to the skillet, let it melt and place the bananas in a single layer in the melted butter. Cook until caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Top the toast with the bananas and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

HOT CHOCOLATE BAKED FRENCH TOAST



Hot Chocolate Baked French Toast image

With a dense custardy inside, a crispy crust, and an extra dose of hot chocolate sauce to pour over the top, this is the most indulgent, decadent breakfast you can prep in advance for Christmas morning.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter (for pan)
1 (1-pound) loaf country-style or "peasant" white bread, sliced 1/4"-thick
3 cups heavy cream
6 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
9 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Butter a 13x9" baking dish. Arrange bread slices in overlapping rows in dish.
  • Cook cream, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate, and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. Transfer 1 cup chocolate mixture to an airtight container; let cool to room temperature, then cover and chill until ready to serve. Reserve remaining chocolate mixture.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Whisking constantly, pour in hot chocolate mixture in a slow, steady stream. Pour evenly over and between each layer of bread. Push down with your hands to soak top of bread. Cover dish tightly with foil and chill at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake foil-covered bread until warmed through and a knife inserted into the center feels warm to the touch, about 35 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until bread is browned, 35-40 minutes longer. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast hazelnuts in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden-brown and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Microwave 1 cup reserved chocolate mixture in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-second intervals (or heat in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water), stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
  • Serve French toast with hot chocolate sauce and toasted hazelnuts.
  • Do Ahead
  • French toast can be assembled 1 day ahead before baking; cover tightly with foil and chill.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg-milk mixture better and results in a crispier, more flavorful French toast.
  • Make sure the griddle or skillet is hot enough: A hot griddle or skillet will help to create a crispy exterior and prevent the French toast from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the griddle or skillet: Overcrowding will prevent the French toast from cooking evenly.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often will make it tough.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh off the griddle or skillet.

Conclusion:

Chocolate milk French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying meal, give chocolate milk French toast a try!
