Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
Start by slicing your bread. Thick slices are preferred for French toast. You can use any type of bread you like – challah, brioche, or even sourdough work well.
Step 2: Fill with Nutella
Take each slice of bread and spread Nutella generously on one side. Place another slice on top to create a sandwich.
Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined.
Step 4: Dip the Sandwiches
Carefully dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Step 5: Cook the French Toast
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the prepared sandwiches in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
Step 6: Serve
Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
Note 1: Bread Selection
Using thicker slices of bread is ideal for ensuring the French toast holds together well when cooked.
Note 2: Nutella Variations
Feel free to experiment with different types of spreads or fillings if you want to switch things up from Nutella.
Note 3: Cooking Tips
Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the sandwiches to avoid them being soggy.
Note 4: Leftover French Toast
If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or skillet.
