Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 4 slices brioche bread
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas
Instructions
- Prepare Nutella Sandwiches: Spread Nutella generously on two slices of brioche bread. Top with the remaining two slices to form two sandwiches.
- Mix Egg Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt fully and coat the cooking surface evenly.
- Dip Sandwiches: Dip each Nutella sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated well but not soaked to the point of sogginess.
- Cook French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve with fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas for added flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Use brioche bread for a rich and soft texture that complements the Nutella filling.
- Do not soak the bread too long in the egg mixture to avoid sogginess and ensure crispiness when cooked.
- Fresh fruits and powdered sugar add a beautiful presentation and extra sweetness.
- Adjust cooking time as needed depending on your stovetop to prevent burning.
