Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying

To Serve (Optional)

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread and Filling: Take thick slices of your preferred bread and spread a generous amount of Nutella on one slice. Carefully top it with a second slice to create a sandwich. Press gently to seal the edges without squeezing the filling out.
  2. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. The mixture should be smooth and well combined for even coating.
  3. Soak the Nutella Sandwich: Dip each Nutella sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side. This helps the bread absorb all that custardy goodness, so it cooks crisp outside and soft inside.
  4. Cook on the Stovetop: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Place the soaked sandwiches carefully into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until each side turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Serve Warm: Once cooked, remove the Nutella Stuffed French Toast from the pan and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup. Serve immediately while it’s warm, gooey, and utterly delightful.

Notes

  • Use thick bread slices like brioche or challah to prevent sogginess and hold the filling well.
  • Do not over-soak the sandwiches; just enough to make them moist but still sturdy.
  • Cook on medium heat to achieve a golden crust and fully melted Nutella center.
  • Seal the edges gently to keep the Nutella from leaking during cooking.
  • Use room temperature Nutella for easier spreading and better melting.
