This Nutella Stuffed Brioche French Toast is a rich and indulgent breakfast or brunch treat featuring creamy Nutella sandwiched between soft, buttery brioche bread slices, dipped in a sweet vanilla-egg custard, and cooked until golden brown and crispy. It’s easy to make and perfect for a special morning meal.

Ingredients

For the Sandwiches

  • 4 slices brioche bread
  • 1/2 cup Nutella

For the Custard

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking and Serving

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
  • Fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sandwiches: Spread Nutella generously over two slices of brioche bread. Top each with the remaining slices to create two Nutella-stuffed sandwiches, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
  2. Make the Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a flavorful dipping custard.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, then add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the surface to prevent sticking and add richness.
  4. Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each Nutella-stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but avoiding making the bread soggy to maintain structure while cooking.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Place the coated sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown color and a crispy exterior while the Nutella inside softens.
  6. Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruits such as strawberries or bananas for a bright, complementary flavor. Enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use brioche bread for the best rich, tender texture.
  • Ensure sandwiches are not dipped too long to avoid sogginess.
  • Adjust cooking heat to prevent burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
  • Optional toppings like powdered sugar and fresh fruits enhance flavor and presentation.
