French Toast… Filled with chocolate

I learned this recipe from my mother: an excellent way, not only not to throw away the bread, but also to recycle it, and make it a good “delicacy”, for breakfast or even for a snack; for a revisit of this method, I added a personal touch, which is the "chocolate garnish".

Parents would be reassured that their children take a healthy and balanced meal: a caloric and energetic contribution of bread, egg, chocolate and sugar... Sometimes we find ourselves without flour or baking powder at home, so this idea may well save us if our children are demanding, or if, unexpectedly, guests arrive unexpectedly. 

Many households cannot "stop" from consuming "bread", so this idea is not only very interesting and very useful for all thrifty people, but also very practical and easy to do, and in a short time, without forgetting it is very nutritious.

You can also use, for this recipe, an ordinary baguette, sandwich bread, or even brioche bread… the Goal and above all, but, above all, to try not to Throw anything away…
