Description
A delicious and fun take on French toast, using rolled bread and filled with Nutella, perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices soft sandwich bread (Slightly stale is perfect for soaking in custard.)
- 1 cup milk (Whole milk is richer but any type works.)
- 2-3 pieces eggs (Depending on how many rolls you make.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (A small splash adds aroma.)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (Optional but recommended.)
- 1 pinch salt (Enhances the chocolate flavor.)
- 4 tablespoons butter (For cooking; yields a golden outside.)
- 1/2 cup Nutella (Classic filling for this recipe.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the crusts off the bread slices and flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin but not torn.
- Spread Nutella in a thin layer on one side of each slice, rolling the bread up tightly afterward.
Custard Mixture
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Cooking
- Roll each filled bread roll quickly in the custard mixture. Do not soak it; a quick coat is sufficient.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolls, turning them to brown all sides evenly, about 2-4 minutes total.
Notes
Serve warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness. These can also be made ahead and reheated for a quick brunch option.
