Ingredients
Scale
Custard Base
- 4 large eggs
- 240 ml whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Bread and S’mores Filling
- 8 slices thick bread, such as brioche or challah
- 180 grams chocolate chips
- 50 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 50 grams mini marshmallows
For Cooking
- Butter, for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare Custard Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly until the custard base is fully blended and smooth.
- Cut Bread: Cut each slice of bread into quarters for easier handling and to allow optimal soaking of the custard.
- Soak Bread: Dip each bread piece into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly without becoming oversaturated. Lift each piece and allow the excess custard to drip off before cooking.
- Heat Pan and Grease: Set a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to lightly grease the cooking surface.
- Cook French Toast Pieces: Place the soaked bread pieces onto the pan in batches. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from the pan.
- Assemble S’mores Sandwiches: Immediately after cooking, sandwich chocolate chips and mini marshmallows between two pieces of French toast, creating s’mores-style sandwiches.
- Melt Filling: Return the assembled s’mores sandwiches to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, allowing the chocolate to melt and marshmallows to become gooey and warm.
- Serve: Transfer the s’mores French toast sandwiches to plates. Cut in half if desired and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and richness.
- Avoid oversaturating the bread to prevent it from falling apart during cooking.
- Graham cracker crumbs can be sprinkled inside the sandwich for extra crunch and authentic s’mores flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the melty chocolate and marshmallows at their best.
- You can add a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
