Chocolate French Toast

Okay! So I had this sudden craving for something chocolaty and something that had to do with bread. Ummmm.. Bread + Chocolate = NO, not that chocolate bread spread again! The only proper thing I know to make with bread was the bread toast. So why not a simple, easy-to-make chocolate toast? ;)

Ingredients: 

White bread slices - 4 (Preferably thick ones because I used normal ones and they broke off)
Milk - 1 cup

Granulated sugar - 3/4 cup
Cocoa powder - 1/3 cup
Eggs - 2
Table salt - 1/4 tsp
Unsalted butter - 2 tbsp
Sliced bananas or strawberries - For garnishing


Method:

  1. Mix granulated sugar, cocoa powder and table salt together in a bowl. 
  2. Pour half a cup of milk and the eggs into this bowl and blend till there are no lumps formed.
  3. Arrange the bread slices in a plate and pour this mixture over the bread slices.
  4. Poke the slices with a fork so that it absorbs well. Let it soak for about 20 minutes, turning it once in between.
  5. Heat butter in a nonstick tawa and fry the bread slices until they are well cooked (usually 3-4 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with bananas or strawberries.

I know this doesn't look like the original French toast. It was because of two reasons:
  1. The bread was of the normal size. I should have used the thicker ones.
  2. I didn't include a lot of ingredients which actually go into the making of the French toast. Will try the original version soon.
Cheers!
