Ingredients

French Toast Mixture

1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sandwiches

8 slices brioche bread
Pistachio spread, as desired
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate, grated
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate, grated
Butter, for the skillet

Toppings

Pistachio sauce
1/4 cup pistachios, crushed
Extra chocolate shavings
Powdered sugar, optional

Instructions

Prepare the French Toast Mixture

In a shallow dish large enough to dip the sandwiches, add the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whisk together until well combined and set aside.

Prepare the Chocolate

Using a vegetable peeler or cheese grater, grate the semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate into a bowl or onto a plate.

Lake Vibes Tip: If you prefer a sweeter chocolate filling, use all semi-sweet chocolate or substitute milk chocolate.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Lay all 8 slices of brioche bread flat on your work surface.
Spread pistachio cream over 4 slices, using as much as you like.
Spoon the grated chocolate over the remaining 4 slices.
Place one chocolate-covered slice together with one pistachio-covered slice to make a sandwich. Repeat until you have 4 sandwiches.

Cook the French Toast Sandwiches

While assembling the sandwiches, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. If using an electric skillet, aim for approximately 275–300°F.
Add a little butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
Quickly dip one side of each sandwich into the egg mixture, then flip and dip the other side. Let any excess mixture drip off.
Place the sandwich into the heated skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook until the bread is golden brown and the filling is warm and melted, flipping to cook both sides. Cook for about 3–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the chocolate inside is melted.
