STUFFED NUTELLA FRENCH TOAST
This delicious recipe is pure French toast heaven that any chocolate lover has to try. Even if you aren not a morning person, this Stuffed Nutella French Toast is sure to get you out of bed and excited for the day ahead. It’s the perfect way to get a dose of rich chocolate into your breakfast, and who wouldn’t want that?
Is there anything more delicious than a creamy Nutella spread? We love incorporating it into amazing breakfast dishes like our Strawberry Nutella Bread Pudding, Nutella Pastry Twists, and of course this Stuffed Nutella French Toast. The rich and sweet hazelnut spread melts in the middle and goes perfectly with the warm breading. It’s like having dessert for breakfast, making it perfect for a big holiday treat.
You can add an array of toppings over this delicious breakfast to dress it up even more. While there are classics like maple syrup, you might want to use toppings that are slightly less sweet like fresh berries and Whipped Cream. The berries will add a little bit of tartness to undercut the rest of the sugar in the recipe. It would taste great with strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. You could also use a combination and enjoy mixed berries over the top of your Nutella Stuffed French Toast.
WHY USE STALE BREAD?
When it comes to French toast, it’s better to use slightly stale bread instead of a fresh loaf. Don’t worry, the finished recipe won’t taste stale at all! Dry bread just does a better job of soaking up the egg and milk custard, which makes the toast more light and airy. If you just bought a loaf of bread, leave the pieces of bread out overnight to make slightly stale bread.

COOKING TIPS
- Sandwiches: Spread Nutella over half of the slices of bread. Then place the remaining slice of bread over the top to make it into a simple sandwich.
- Egg mixture: Add the milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract to a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs with milk until the ingredients are well combined. Then dip the French toast sandwiches in the coating. Let any excess mixture drip off for a few seconds before cooking.
- Cooking time: Heat the stovetop or your griddle to medium-high heat. You want to use the largest skillet you have so that you can fit more of the toast on it. Melt butter in the skillet or prep it with cooking spray. Add the stuffed French toast to the heated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
