Nutella Stuffed French Toast
Nutella Stuffed French Toast is the ultimate breakfast or brunch recipe. This indulgent French toast is stuffed with oozing, gooey warm Nutella and dusted with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk 60ml
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 6 tbsp Nutella
- 4 slices brioche bread
- 1 tsp powdered sugar icing sugar, confectioner's sugar
- drizzle maple syrup
- fresh fruit to serve
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk then add the vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt. Whisk again until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
- Take 4 slices (1 inch thick) of brioche and spread them with 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of Nutella (see notes). Sandwich the slices of bread together and press down firmly with the palm of your hand.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture and soak for 30 seconds on each side (see notes).
- Heat a hotplate, skillet or frying pan and a tablespoon of butter for each sandwich. Once the butter has melted add the sandwiches and fry for around 3 minutes on each side or until they're golden brown.
- Slice on the diagonal and dust each half with powdered sugar, drizzle over a little maple syrup and top with fruit.
Notes
- Warm the Nutella in the microwave for a few seconds to make spreading easier
- Avoid soaking the brioche for too long or it will go soggy and won't brown when fried
- This recipe can be baked. Add the sandwiched brioche to the egg mixture in an oven proof dish and bake at 350ºF / 180ºC for 40 minutes
- Best served immediately
