- If you don't want the unnecessary calories from the butter, there's a way to make the same chocolate french toast but with olive oil. Olive oil is one of the healthiest oils and is considered a good option if you're looking to lose weight and diet.
- If you're gluten intolerant, the bread could be replaced with ragi or millet bread and the recipe would remain the same.
Recipe Notes
- The secret to a perfect French toast is the crisp on the exterior and a soft fluffiness in the interior.
- Using both butter and vegetable oil to cook French Toast ensures that it is properly crisp and caramelised at the edges, with a deep buttery flavour.
- It permits the toast to crisp on the exterior while keeping the interior soft, fluffy, and almost custardy.
- To me, that's the epitome of French toast excellence! And when the chocolate is added it tastes just like pure heaven.
- As I mentioned earlier, the perfect French toast entails crispiness on the outside and a fluffiness inside. To achieve that make sure to keep the pan on low to medium flame.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve these buttery delights with a layer of fruits and honey. But there's always room for customization.
Cut it from the middle into two pieces and sprinkle powdered sugar and honey. To top it off, you can go for tiny slices of banana or berries.
Top Tip
Because of the chocolate and sugar in the egg mixture, as well as the heated oil, it can quickly go from perfect to scorched. Make sure you keep an eye on Chocolate French Toast while it cooks.
Storage
Store the french toast in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It stays good for 2-3 days
When eating, heat it in a pan on low flame.
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
