Nutella Stuffed French Toast

Nutella Stuffed French Toast

Nutella Stuffed French Toast offers a rich, gooey, and indulgent breakfast experience by sandwiching creamy Nutella between thick slices of egg-soaked bread, cooked to golden crisp perfection. This easy yet impressive recipe blends sweet, chocolatey, and nutty flavors with a crisp exterior and melty center, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Bread and Filling

  • Thick bread slices (brioche, challah, or Texas toast) – about 6 slices
  • Nutella spread – 1/2 cup (enough to spread thinly between slices)

Egg Mixture

  • Eggs – 3 large
  • Milk or cream – 1/2 cup
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking – 2 tablespoons

Optional Garnishes

  • Powdered sugar – for dusting
  • Fresh fruit (berries, sliced strawberries, or bananas)
  • Whipped cream or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Slice your bread thickly (3/4 to 1 inch) and spread a generous, thin layer of Nutella on one slice. Sandwich with another slice to form Nutella stuffed sandwiches.
  2. Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Dip the sandwiches: Carefully dip each Nutella stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly, allowing the bread to soak up enough custard for a creamy interior without falling apart.
  4. Cook to golden perfection: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the stuffed sandwiches about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Serve warm: Plate immediately, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh fruit or syrup for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread to better absorb the egg mixture without falling apart.
  • Apply a thin, even layer of Nutella to prevent sogginess or spills during cooking.
  • Cook over medium heat to develop a crispy crust without burning before the inside is fully heated.
  • Gently press sandwiches when assembling to seal and keep filling intact.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy Nutella’s melty, warm texture.
