Chocolate Filled French Toast

Directions

1. * Use a good quality chocolate; cut into large pcs. Cut through each slice of bread horizonally with a serrated knife to within 1/4 inch of the bottom crust, forming a pocket. Into each pocket stuff half the chocolate, pressing the openings together. In a shallow bowl or possibly pie plate, whisk together the egg, lowfat milk, superfine sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a healthy pinch of salt. Add in the filled bread in one layer, and let it soak, turning it once, for 5 - 10 min, or possibly till the bread absorbs most of the egg mix. In a heavy skillet heat the butter over moderately low heat till the foam subsides and in it cook the soaked bread, turning it frequently with a spatula, for 10 min, or possibly till it is crisp and golden brown. Tranfer the french toast to heated plates, dust it with the confectioners sugar and serve it with the ice cream.
