Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 1/2 cup Nutella

Custard Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Take thick slices of your chosen bread and spread a generous layer of Nutella on one side of each slice. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich, gently pressing to seal the edges.
  2. Mix the Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if using. This mixture will be the custard that makes the exterior perfectly golden and tender.
  3. Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each Nutella-stuffed sandwich into the custard mixture, allowing the bread to soak but not become soggy. Flip to coat both sides evenly.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, then cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is crisp and golden brown and the Nutella inside is melty.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the pan, dust with powdered sugar if you like, and serve warm to savor every gooey bite.

Notes

  • Choose the right bread: Brioche or challah work best because they absorb the custard without falling apart.
  • Don’t over-soak: Keep dipping time brief to prevent the bread from becoming too wet and difficult to handle.
  • Use medium heat: Cooking over medium heat ensures the toast crisps slowly and Nutella melts perfectly.
  • Seal the edges: Press the sandwich edges firmly to prevent Nutella from leaking during cooking.
  • Add toppings last: Apply powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or syrup just before serving to keep the crunch intact.
