Description
Nutella French Toast is a deliciously indulgent breakfast or brunch option. The crispy golden-brown exterior with a creamy, chocolaty Nutella filling makes for a sweet and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
– 4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)
– 1/2 cup Nutella (or more depending on preference)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
– Butter or oil for cooking
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
– Fresh berries or bananas for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. **Prepare the French Toast:**
– Spread a generous layer of Nutella on one side of each slice of bread. Assemble the slices into pairs with Nutella facing each other to make “sandwiches.”
2. **Prepare the Egg Mixture:**
– In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. **Cook the French Toast:**
– Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
– Dip each Nutella sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
– Place the coated bread slices on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. **Serve:**
– Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place on plates. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and top with fresh berries or bananas.
Notes
– You can use any bread of your choice, but thick slices like brioche or challah work best for this recipe.
– If you want an extra indulgent treat, drizzle some extra Nutella on top of the French toast after cooking.
– For a lighter version, you can use a lower-fat milk or substitute the Nutella with peanut butter or almond butter.
– Serve with whipped cream for an added touch of sweetness.
