Description
A delightful breakfast that combines the classic flavors of Italian cannoli with the comfort of French toast, featuring a rich, creamy filling and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of thick bread (like challah or brioche)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.
- Build the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of the ricotta mixture between two slices of bread and press to ensure the filling stays inside.
