Hold on while I lick the plate……
Lane and I had Nutella stuffed french toast on our honeymoon, and ever since I told my mom about it (she loves nutella) she’s wanted to try it. Finally, over July 4th weekend, we did! I just googled a recipe and came across this one. This was so rich and delicious! The perfect bite included french toast smothered in syrup with a slice of strawberry. It’s certainly NOT weight watchers approved, but it sure was tummy approved! Give it a shot next time you are in a french toast mood…it doesn’t disappoint!
Nutella Stuffed French Toast, adapted from Nook and Pantry
Note: I doubled the recipe to serve 4 of us and had PLENTY batter left over.
1 egg
3/4 C milk (I used whole…when in Rome!)
3 Tbsp AP flour
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (and more for frying)
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Half loaf of french bread; cut into 3/4 inch slices on the diagonal
Nutella, slathered it on
Powdered sugar, syrup and strawberries for serving
Whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla together until a smooth, thin batter is formed. (Stir occasionally so four doesn’t settle at the bottom)
Spread some Nutella on a slice of bread and then top with a second slice. Continue until all bread is used. (Ours made 6 “sandwiches”. Heat a non stick skillet to medium heat. Add butter right before adding bread. Dip nutella sandwiches in batter and immediately fry. Fry the French toasts until crisp and brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side, flip then fry the second side until crisp and brown also, another minute or so. Continue until all pieces are cooked
Serve with powdered sugar, syrup and strawberries.
