Stuffed Mexican Hot Chocolate French Toast With Cinnamon Whipped Cream And Chocolate Maple Ganache Recipes

Steps:

• Batter:
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well until incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Filling:
• Fold all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated but not completely smooth.
• Syrup:
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/3.
• French Toast:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large saute pan and then add butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Divide filling between 2 pieces of the bread top with the remaining 2 pieces of bread. Transfer French toast to oven and bake for 8 minutes.
• Cut each French toast in half and serve with the cinnamon syrup and, if desired, a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir orange butter ingredients with wooden spoon until blended. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.
• In shallow dish, stir milk, Bisquick mix, vanilla, 1 teaspoon orange peel, the orange juice and eggs with fork or whisk until blended. In each slice of bread, cut 3-inch pocket through top crust. Spread 1 tablespoon hazelnut spread in each pocket.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat (350°F); melt 2 tablespoons butter on griddle. Dip bread in egg mixture, coating both sides. Place bread on hot griddle; cook about 4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
• Sprinkle French toast with additional powdered sugar; top with additional hazelnut spread. Serve with orange butter.
