Marlyn’s Nutella French Toast
Enjoy this delicious recipe supplied by Marlyn’s any day of the week, topped with toasted chopped hazelnuts, bananas, strawberries or blueberries for an extra dose of deliciousness.
Ingredients:
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons butter
8 (1/2-inch) thick slices brioche bread
8 tablespoons of Nutella or any other chocolate spread, divided
Pinch of salt
Grade B maple syrup or powdered sugar, for serving
Method:
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and salt. Working in batches, melt some of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderately-high heat.
Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and quickly transfer to the skillet. Cook 2 slices of the bread until golden brown, and then flip over and cook until golden brown on the other side. Spread 2 tablespoons of Nutella on 1 piece of the bread, and place the other piece of cooked bread on top to enclose the spread. Gently press down with a spatula so the toast slices stick together.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with grade B maple syrup or powdered sugar.
