Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Brioche bread
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chocolate hazelnut spread until smooth.
Spread the chocolate and cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each slice of brioche bread.
On two of the slices, layer the sliced strawberries over the chocolate mixture, then top with the other two slices of bread to create two sandwiches. Press lightly to seal the edges.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated.
Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
