Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced brioche bread
- 4 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups cornflakes cereal
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Spread 2 tablespoons of Nutella evenly over 2 slices of brioche bread. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Place the cornflakes in a zip-top bag and crush them into small pieces using your hands or a rolling pin. Transfer the crushed cornflakes to another shallow dish.
Dip each Nutella-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Let any excess liquid drip off.
Press the dipped sandwiches into the crushed cornflakes, ensuring an even coating on all sides for a crispy texture.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Cook the coated sandwiches in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy and the interior is warmed through.
Remove the Nutella Crunch French Toast from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately with maple syrup on the side for dipping or drizzling.
