Once cooked, you top it with everything your heart desires, like powdered sugar, fruit, maple syrup or – why not? – all of them!
To make Nutella French Toast, we follow that same formula, but instead of using only one slice of bread, we use two to make a sandwich filled with Nutella. And when I say filled, I mean it! Please save your calories elsewhere. I wanna see at least 2 tablespoons of Nutella per French Toast!
I am semi-kidding, of course. Feel free to adapt this to your dietary needs! A little Nutella is better than no Nutella, after all.
What kind of bread should I use for French toast?
The bread is the most important ingredient of any French Toast. Choose something too thin, and you’ll end up with a soggy mess. Choose something too hard, and you won’t get that delicious creaminess inside.
So what is the best bread? While lots of people will vote for challah, I really like brioche. The rich, buttery and fluffy brioche soaks the custard beautifully while still maintaining a slight crunchy texture on the outside when fried.
The drier the bread, the better. Usually a day old loaf will do, but a couple days is better. If you’re in a pinch, you can always start with a fresh loaf, slice it and dry it in a 275 degree F oven for 10 minutes or so.
I also like to buy a loaf that is not pre-sliced, so I can control the thickness of my slices. The ideal thickness for French Toast is 3/4″ to 1″ thick. If it’s thicker than that, it might not cook to the center.
