Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 slices of bread preferably thick, like brioche or challah
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk whole or any milk of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 2-3 tablespoons Nutella
  • Butter for frying
  • Powdered sugar optional, for garnish
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas optional, for topping

Notes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Nutella

  • Spread a generous amount of Nutella on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover it well but don’t overdo it so it doesn’t spill out too much.

Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

  • In a shallow bowl, crack 2 large eggs and whisk them together with 1/4 cup of milk. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon if you like a bit of spice. Whisk everything until smooth and well-combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich

  • Take the two Nutella-covered slices of bread and press them together, Nutella sides facing inwards, to form a sandwich.

Step 4: Prepare the Pan

  • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to the pan and let it melt, ensuring it coats the surface.

Step 5: Coat the Sandwich in the Egg Mixture

  • Dip the Nutella sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. You can use a fork to gently press the bread into the mixture if you want it to absorb more of the egg.

Step 6: Fry the French Toast

  • Carefully place the coated sandwich into the heated pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to avoid burning.

Step 7: Serve

  • Once cooked, remove the French toast from the pan. Place it on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. You can also top it with fresh berries or sliced bananas for added flavor and texture.
