Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White or brioche bread slices
- 4 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lay out the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly on two of the slices, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top each Nutella-coated slice with the remaining bread slices to form a sandwich.
Trim the crusts off the sandwiches to create clean edges. Gently press the edges with your fingers to seal them, mimicking the shape of a pain au chocolat.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter until foamy.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soggy. Let any excess drip off.
Place the sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Add the remaining butter as needed to cook the second sandwich.
Remove from the pan and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Nutella Sandwich Mock Pain Au Chocolat!
