Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sliced brioche bread
- 1.0 cup Nutella
- 4 large eggs
- 1.0 cup whole milk
- 1.0 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2.0 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2.0 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1.0 cup fresh berries (optional)
- 0.5 cup maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Spread 2 tablespoons of Nutella onto 4 slices of brioche bread. Top each with another slice of bread, pressing gently to form 4 'sandwiches.'
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
Dip each Nutella 'sandwich' into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Let any excess mixture drip off.
Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet or griddle, cooking 2 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the Nutella stuffed French toast to a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm with fresh berries and maple syrup, if desired.
