Nutella Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- 1 Extra-Large Egg Yolk
- 1/2 cup Half and Half
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 8 slices Bread I used Texas Toast
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
-
In a shallow dish; combine the egg yolk, half and half, and vanilla.
-
Spread 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella on 4 slices of bread (all the way to the edge). Place other 4 slices on top to form a sandwich.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add a tablespoon (or so) of butter to heated skillet.
-
Once butter is melted, dip each sandwich into egg mixture. And place sandwich into skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden browned on both sides of sandwich.
-
Serve Nutella Stuffed French Toast warm and topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and fresh chopped strawberries.
Recipe Notes
Note: If using a thicker bread or the bread has become too saturated with egg mixture, place browned stuffed french toast on a baking sheet and place into a 350 degree F oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until bread has fully cooked. (Also a great way to keep sandwiches warm if feeding a crowd!)
Spread 1 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread onto one side of each of 2 slices cinnamon bread; top each with another bread slice to make 2 sandwiches.
That sounds delicious! Never thought about using cinnamon bread… Brilliant!
