So with all the leftover chocolate babka I had I needed to do something with it. It won't do as breadcrumbs or croutons but perhaps it would make a very nice french toast, I had thought. Well it turned out quite good and the bit of chocolate made it dessert-like.
French Toast (using Chocolate Babka)
Serves 2
4 slices chocolate babka, sliced thickly (you can also use brioche or challah; you can also stale the bread the night before if your bread was freshly made)
3/4-1 cup whole milk (you can use cream or half-and-half but not non-fat or low-fat milk :P)
2 eggs
1/4 cup vanilla sugar (or regular granulated sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract (depending upon your taste)
2 tbsp butter, for frying
In a big glass measuring cup, pour in your milk and add in the eggs. Whisk until well-combined (your liquid should be quite yellow and not too white) and then add in your sugar and vanilla extract. Pour the custard into a shallow pie plate.
Soak your bread slices in the custard for about 30 seconds on each side.
Heat a large skillet on medium and melt your butter in it. Fry each side of the bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Enjoy with a side of whipped cream and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Yum! We have French Toast here in Britain but we call it Eggy Bread - less prosaic - and we serve it dipped in ketchup...yours looks delicious! Glad you used up your babka!
Hope you had a great New Year!

That's a neat idea... I've never tried eating french toast as something savory. That'll be something new to try! :D
