French Toast with Chocolate and Walnuts

I like French Toast.  Okay, I love French Toast – but I can never be bothered with the frying part.  1, because it’s an extra pan to wash up.  2, because the first batch are cold by the time you’ve fried all the others up.  3, because I’m damned lazy.  So I baked it instead, and it came out kind of like French Toast and Bread and Butter Pudding had a baby. 🙂

I used this recipe – but added some chopped walnuts and maple syrup to the mix.  I threw it in the oven at 180° for around 20-25 minutes and then drizzled some melted chocolate over the top and a little bit of icing sugar.  C’est bon!
