This indulgent breakfast dish combines the classic comfort of French toast with a luxurious twist. Thick slices of bread are stuffed with a creamy ricotta and chocolate chip filling, then dipped in a rich egg mixture and pan-fried to golden perfection. Topped with a homemade strawberry syrup, this dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures - crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, with bursts of melted chocolate and sweet-tart strawberry in every bite. It's an impressive treat perfect for special brunches or a decadent weekend breakfast.
