Nutella French Toast
Nutella sandwiched between 2 slices of bread, dipped in egg and fried in butter. Indulgence at its best.
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread preferably 2 day old bread
- 1 no eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp fine sugar
- 2 tsp Nutella and more for serving
- 1 dollops butter
- icing sugar and strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Ina shallow flat bottomed bowl, crack the egg and add sugar and milk. Using a fork, whisk it.
- Apply a thick layer of Nutella on one bread using 2 tsp of chocolate spread.
- Cover that with the other bread slice, making a sandwich.
- Carefully place this sandwich in the bowl with the egg.
- When one side has soaked enough egg, carefully flip and let the other side soak in all the egg.
- Heat a frying pan. Let it become hot and then add a dollop of butter and let it melt. Don't add the butter first and heat cos then the butter will burn.
- Gently slide the chocolate sandwich into the frying pan.
- Keep the heat at medium to low or else the butter will burn fast and become brown.
- Once one side has crisped up, flip and cook the other side.
- When both sides are brown and crispy, take the French toast out of the pan and on a kitchen towel to soak the excess butter.
- If you are making another set of French toast, you need to wipe the pan with tissue paper to take out the brown burnt butter before making a fresh batch.
- Cut the sandwich in a triangle. Drizzle more Nutella and dust icing sugar if you want. Serve with some cut up strawberries.
Notes
- About the bread: It is best to use medium-hard bread for French toast. A day or two-day-old bread works best. Brioche is an excellent choice since it is anyway buttery and becomes extra crispy when cooked further with the custard inside.
- If you get a loaf and cut the bread into your desired thickness, it will be better. Sometimes sliced bread has too thin slices. Then it becomes a soggy mess when you add that into the egg.
