1 loaf day-old French bread
1 cup milk-chocolate chips or cinnamon chips
5 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
* maple syrup, optional
Spray a 13 x 9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut the French bread into 6 slices, each 4 cm (1 1/2 inches) thick. Using a
small, sharp knife, cut 5-cm (2-inch) long slits in one side of each bread slice,
cutting 3/4 of the way through the bread, to create a pocket.
Spoon heaping 30 ml (2 Tbsp) of chips into the pocket of each bread slice; press to close. Place filled slices into prepared baking pan. Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread; carefully turn pieces over, spooning mixture in pan over top of bread. Cover pan with plastic wrap, refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 400 F. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer toast to plates. Serve with maple syrup, if desired. Makes 6 servings.
How about a few strawberries as garnish!!
Bonus tip: If you want an easy confection to make for the last part of the
day, perhaps a sweet evening bite, consider chocolate turnovers - chocolate
chips baked inside small squares of pre-made puff pastry dough.

Pat, try spooning some raspberries and sauce over it also. Or raspberry jam
on top....... or for that matter, put some raspberry jam inside instead of the
chocolate. Never thought about filling the overnight French toast. It has many
possibilities! Love the name, sinfully sensuous! Thanks.
