# Ce dont tu as besoin:

→ French Toast

01 - 8 slices red velvet bread (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 1 cup whole milk
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 tablespoon sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
07 - 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

→ Cream Cheese Filling

08 - 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
09 - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
10 - 1 tablespoon milk (to adjust consistency)

→ Topping

11 - 1/4 cup maple syrup
12 - Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
13 - Whipped cream (optional)
14 - Powdered sugar for dusting

# Étapes à suivre:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
02 - In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
03 - Take a slice of red velvet bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on one side. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices.
04 - In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure the pan is hot enough so that the butter sizzles when you add the sandwiches.
05 - Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
06 - Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

01 - For a lighter filling, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
02 - If red velvet bread is unavailable, use a soft bread like brioche or challah.
