Preparing the Filling

In a mixing bowl, blend ricotta cheese with powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, and chocolate chips or pieces. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Making the French Toast

Whisk eggs, milk, and a hint of cinnamon together in a shallow dish. Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the bread slices until golden brown on both sides.

Assembling the Dish

Once the French toast is cooked, allow it to cool slightly on a wired rack. Carefully slice each piece of toast halfway through to create a pocket. Spoon the ricotta cheese filling into each pocket, and then press slightly to close.

Final Touches

Serve the stuffed French toast with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and chopped pistachio nuts on top for garnish. For an added indulgence, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or honey can also be included as a topping.
