Instructions

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture
Start by grating the dark chocolate. Then, place the ricotta in a mixing bowl. Grate the zest of one orange and add it to the ricotta, giving it a fresh citrus flavor. -
Assemble the French Toast
Take 3 slices of white bread (pancarrรจ) and spread the orange-infused ricotta generously on each slice. Next, add a spoonful of orange marmalade at the center of the ricotta. Sprinkle the grated dark chocolate on top, adding a rich, indulgent touch. Finally, top with another slice of bread, pressing gently to sandwich the filling together. -
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until fully combined. This will serve as the dip for the French toast. -
Cook the French Toast
Heat a generous amount of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, dip the assembled sandwiches into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Fry the French toast in the pan for a few minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. -
Finish and Serve
In a separate small plate, combine powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Once the French toast is cooked and golden, remove from the skillet and dust with the cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve your French toast with ricotta, orange, and chocolate warm, and enjoy this delightful treat as a luxurious breakfast or a sweet ending to your meal!
Tips for Perfection
- You can use different types of bread for this recipe, such as brioche or challah, for a richer texture.
- If you donโt have dark chocolate, milk chocolate works well as a substitute, giving a slightly sweeter taste.
- For extra flavor, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup over the top.
