French Toast dipped in custard...rolled in graham crackers...stuffed with Nutella or Chocolate Spread and Marshmallow Fluff!
- 16 graham crackers (crushed)
- 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar
- 5 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 egg yolks (for extra richness but you can just add 1 more egg if you would like)
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 7 ounce jar of Marshmallow Fluff
- ½ jar of Chocolate or Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- 8 thick slices of Challah...Brioche or Country White thick slice bread about ⅓" thick
- 6 tablespoons of Butter
- 6 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil (don't use olive oil : )
- Confectioners sugar
- You are going to need to preheat your over to 350 - 375 degrees and place your baking rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler. Don't forget to move the rack before you preheat!
- Set up a little dredging station....place your crushed graham crackers in a shallow dish. Then you are going to take your eggs...vanilla and half and half and whisk until creamy smooth.
- Now it is time to soak your slices...I put them in the custard mix for approximately 30 seconds and then then dredge into the graham cracker crumbs...then place on a dish waiting to be cooked. Repeat...
- Time to fry up your french toast slices...you can use a griddle pan or a saute pan. Heat up equal parts of butter and oil (3 tablespoons of each for approximately 3-4 slices) cook until golden brown on both sides. When your first batch is done...place the slices on a rack that is over a cookie tin and place in the over to keep warm. Repeat.
- Take 4 slices out and prepare them with your S'mores ingredients. Spread each slice with approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of hazelnut spread or chocolate spread and then top with a nice mound of fluff (it is a little sticky to spread but remember...it doesn't have to be perfect! ) Now place the other 4 slices on a platter.
- Crank up the oven to broil and place the 4 slices with the S'mores mixture on them under the broiler until bubbly and golden brown. You have to watch closely...it happens pretty fast and you don't want to burn them!
- Now take them out of the over and top with the plain french toast...cut them in half...sprinkle with confections sugar...plate them and serve!
