Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of thick bread (Challah or Brioche)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Butter (for cooking)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of Nutella on one side of each slice of bread. Place another slice on top to create a sandwich and press down gently.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each Nutella sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
- Place the first sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are browned and the Nutella is melty. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.
- Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of warm maple syrup if desired. Enjoy immediately while warm and gooey!
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding sliced bananas or strawberries inside the Nutella sandwiches before cooking.
- You can prepare the sandwiches and batter the night before and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast.
- Experiment with different types of bread for varied flavors and textures.
- Keep cooked French toast warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the rest.
