Chocolate Stuffed French Toast with Strawberries
Chocolate Stuffed French Toast with Strawberries is one of our favorite breakfasts. I begin this recipe by baking a challah. But, feel free to use a store bought challah, a brioche, or just regular white bread. While my personal French toast preference is a challah, I think almost any homemade bread would be absolutely delicious in this recipe. Next, I melt bittersweet chocolate which gets sandwiched between two pieces of challah. Then, I fry the challah sandwiches in butter, until they’re golden brown. Finally, I dust the toast with powdered sugar and drizzle them with some more chocolate. And, I serve the toast with sliced strawberries.
The Equipment I Used
- A Non-Stick Pan- Using a non-stick pan ensures that your toast won’t stick to the pan.
- A Strawberry Corer- I use this to remove the cores from the strawberries, and it’s a real time saver.
The Ingredients Needed for Chocolate Stuffed French Toast with Strawberries
- Challah- I like to use homemade challah. The recipe is attached below.
- Chocolate- I used Ghirardelli sixty percent cacao bittersweet chocolate. But, you could also use semisweet chocolate.
- Heavy Cream- Beat your eggs with cream. Or, you could use whole milk.
- Butter- Use this to fry the French toast. I prefer unsalted butter.
How I Made My French Toast
- First, I melted my chopped bittersweet chocolate. It’s important to stir it after every twenty seconds of cooking. You could also melt this on the stove over a double boiler of hot, not boiling water.
- Next, I spread half of the bread with chocolate, and then placed a plain slice of challah on top to form sandwiches.
- Then, I dipped each sandwich into the egg and cream.
- Next, I fried the French toast. It’s important to watch the toast closely to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Finally, I served the French toast with additional chocolate drizzled on top and sliced strawberries.

Chocolate Stuffed French Toast
Challah French Toast filled with melted bittersweet chocolate and topped with strawberries.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped in small pieces
- 8 slices challah, sliced a half inch thick
- 4 eggs
- 4 tbsp. heavy cream
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
Instructions
- First, melt the chocolate: In a microwave safe bowl, cook the chocolate in the microwave for twenty seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir. Repeat this until the chocolate is totally melted and smooth. Spread four slices of challah with the chocolate, and then top each slice with a plain piece of challah, so that you have four challah sandwiches.
- Next, in a second bowl, mix together the eggs and cream.
- Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each challah sandwich briefly in the egg mixture. You don't want to soak the bread in the egg.
- Fry the sandwiches on both sides until they're golden brown. Add more butter, as needed. Drizzle the finished toast with more chocolate and top with strawberries.
