S’mores Stuffed French Toast

I had a craving for something sweet one morning, but all I had around the house was a handful of ingredients. This was the delicious outcome, and now I make it all the time.

TAKES: 20 MIN. • MAKES: 4 SERVINGS

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups 2% milk
• 10 whole graham crackers, coarsely crushed (about 1 ¾ cups)
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 8 slices French bread (¾ in. thick)
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup miniature marshmallows
• Chocolate syrup, optional

1. 1. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk until blended. Place graham cracker crumbs in another wide shallow bowl.
2. 2. Grease a griddle with butter; heat over medium heat. Dip both sides of bread in egg mixture, then in crumbs, patting to help coating adhere. Place bread on griddle; toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle chocolate chips and marshmallows over each of 4 toast slices; top with remaining toast. If desired, serve with chocolate syrup.

SWEET SECRET

To minimize mess, use a rolling pin to crush graham crackers in the unopened sleeve, and try glass pie plates for dipping the bread into the eggs and crumbs.
