CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY FRENCH TOAST

Nonstick cooking spray
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 slices thick day old bread
Butter
1/3 cup grated bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
Whipped cream

Spray a large skillet or griddle with the cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

Beat the eggs, cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large flat bowl or pie plate. Place half of the bread slices in the egg mixture and flip over a few times to let the bread absorb the mixture.

Place the bread on the hot griddle or skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes more.

Place the toast on a plate and immediately butter and sprinkle with the chocolate. Tent with foil and place in a warm oven.

Repeat with the remaining egg mixture and bread.

Top the French toast slices with strawberries and whipped cream and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
