Strawberry Topping

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (use less if your berries are very sweet)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:

Combine the berries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl then cover and let macerate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Filling

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 oz semisweet chocolate

Directions:

Add the chocolate to a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second bursts on 50% power, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool. Combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, orange zest and sugar in a small bowl. Add the cooled chocolate and stir to incorporate.

French Toast

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices day-old challah bread, each about 3/4-inch thick
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Take one slice of bread and turn it so the bottom edge is facing up at you. Cut a pocket with a sharp knife, leaving the edges and top of the bread intact. Repeat with each slice of bread, then fill each pocket with about 1/4 of the filling mixture. (You could probably stretch the filling for 5 or 6 pieces of bread if you wanted.)

Set a large skillet over medium heat. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Whisk in the melted butter and vanilla then the flour and salt, mixing until smooth.  One at a time, add the filled slices of bread to the mixture and soak for about 30 seconds per side. Let the excess drip off, then transfer to a plate. Repeat for all slices of bread.

Spray the heated pan with nonstick cooking spray (you could also use butter if you want). Add the bread to the pan in a single layer and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread. Serve with powdered sugar and strawberry topping.
