Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side to fully absorb the flavors.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet, cooking until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Spread a generous amount of custard filling on one slice of French toast, then top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat this step with the remaining slices.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate ganache over the top of each French toast sandwich, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful twist on a classic dessert!

- You can make your own custard filling or chocolate ganache from scratch for a more personalized touch.
- If you're short on time, ready-made custard and ganache can be found in most grocery stores.
