PRESENTATION

Recipe by
Vanessa Gizzi

French toast with ricotta, orange, and chocolate is an easy and quick sweet recipe, a variation of the classic French ones. They can be prepared in the morning for a hearty breakfast, but they are also fabulous for a substantial snack. Fragrant and delicious, they will make everyone happy thanks to the perfect combination of chocolate and orange. Two ingredients that together make every dessert a real delight... and we have already experienced it with the orange and chocolate chiffon cake, for example! The French toast requires a short cooking time in the pan, just three minutes to make them golden and create a deliciously crispy crust. During cooking, the delightful filling will become very creamy and the chocolate will melt, binding with the ricotta and the jam: French toast with ricotta, orange, and chocolate, are you already salivating?

Preparation

How to prepare French toast with ricotta, orange and chocolate

To prepare the French toast with ricotta, orange, and chocolate, start by grating the dark chocolate. Then pour the ricotta into a bowl, grate the zest of an orange to combine it with the ricotta 1 and mix into a cream with a spoon 2. Take 3 slices of sandwich bread and spread the orange-flavored ricotta 3.

Continue by pouring the orange marmalade in the center 4, then add the grated chocolate 5. Finally, place another slice of sandwich bread on top to cover the filling 6.

In a dish, beat the eggs with the milk 7. Dip the French toast in the milk and egg mixture 8. In a large non-stick pan, melt a knob of butter 9.

Brown the French toast on both sides for a few moments until they are well golden 10 11. In a dish, mix some powdered sugar with cinnamon and coat the French toast with ricotta, orange, and chocolate 12 before serving them.

French toast with ricotta, orange, and chocolate should be eaten as soon as they are ready. They can be kept in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 1 day. Freezing is not recommended.

Advice

It is possible to add dark chocolate chips to the batter instead of grated chocolate. The ricotta can be replaced with another fresh spreadable cheese, such as robiola.
