Churro French Toast (with milk chocolate, strawberries & raspberries)
This recipe for churro French toast first appeared on my former blog, The Culinary Jumble. This post has been amended to show the ingredients and directions.
We love French toast in our house. Well, actually, we call it we call it eggy Bread (that’s my northern British roots shining through) and enjoy it both savoury and for a little more of a luxurious feel, sweet with caramel.
The idea to give my French toast a little Spanish twist was not mine. In fact, I’d never seen them before. No, the idea came from Tania at The Gammon Kitchen.
My first thought was how could a little cinnamon and sugar (the traditional churros coating) change something already good, for the better. Well, you’d be surprised. They were a whole new realm of taste. Believe me. So good that my youngest son went into raptures. That good.
Tania’s recipe was super simple to follow and the only change I made was to swap out the Nutella for melted milk chocolate.
I also increased the amounts for my churros French toast. The original recipe is for two slices only (an individual portion) but there’s four in our family and we all wanted a bit of the action.
Churro French Toast (with milk chocolate, strawberries & raspberries)
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 slices of good quality bread (cut thickly)
- 10g butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Topping
- 20g milk chocolate
- raspberries and strawberries
Instructions
- Whisk the egg, milk and vanilla together in a large bowl, until combined.
- Take your loaf (anything you like) and slice it thickly. Take each slice of bread and dip into the egg mixture, allowing a few seconds for it to soak up the liquid, then turn over and repeat.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan, then fry the bread on each side until golden (about two minutes each side). You may need to do this in batches, depending on how large your pan is.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon, and then pour onto a large plate. Place the hot french toast on top and then turn over so that your bread is evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Melt the milk chocolate and then drizzle over, finishing off with raspberries, strawberries or anything else you fancy. Enjoy!
