Description

Delight in this delicious Nutella-Stuffed French Toast, a perfect treat for breakfast or brunch. Featuring rich chocolate-hazelnut spread sandwiched between slices of cinnamon bread, dipped in a smooth vanilla-egg batter, and pan-fried to golden perfection. Serve with powdered sugar and pancake syrup, optionally adding fresh fruit like bananas or strawberries for an extra burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Nutella Stuffed French Toast

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella), or more to taste
  • 4 slices cinnamon bread (such as Pepperidge Farm)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread onto one side of each of 2 slices of cinnamon bread. Top each spread slice with another piece of bread, forming two sandwiches.
  3. Make Batter and Soak Sandwiches: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip each sandwich into the milk mixture, soaking for about 15 seconds per side until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
  4. Heat Pan: Coat a nonstick skillet or pan with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat until hot.
  5. Cook Sandwiches: Place the soaked sandwiches in the hot pan. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned, about 1 minute more.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the pan, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve with pancake syrup. Add sliced bananas or strawberries on the side for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh cinnamon bread to prevent sogginess during soaking.
  • Adjust the amount of Nutella based on your preference for sweetness and richness.
  • Use a nonstick pan and cooking spray to avoid sticking and promote even browning.
  • Optionally garnish with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup or fruit for enhanced taste.
  • This recipe serves 2 but can be easily scaled up for more servings.
