Cannoli French Toast Ingredients

4 slices French bread

1 cup Ricotta cheese

Method

Instructions

Prepare the Ricotta Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Make the Egg Mixture

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Dip the Bread

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of French bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Cook the French Toast

Place the dipped bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.

Assemble

Once cooked, spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture on top of each slice of French toast. Drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios and chocolate chips.

Serve

Serve immediately while warm, with additional maple syrup on the side.
