I have to attribute this idea to a pinterest post I found when lying in bed trying not to salivate as I explored some recipe inspiration. Her blog is found on navywifecook.com and is rather cute and interesting to explore.
So the recipe. Essentially Nutella French Toast….I had you at Nutella right? My last post was about classic food combinations, I forgot to mention chocolate and just about anything right? Especially hazelnuts thus the love of nutella. French toast is usually one piece of bread dipped in egg and milk/cream mix and fried in a pan but this recipe calls for two slices and a healthy dollop of nutella in between. Irresistible right? Add some delicious strawberries and we have dessert deliciousness.
Ingredients (serves four)
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp sugar
8 slices bread
nutella
butter for frying (1-2 tbsp)
Method
Whisk egg and milk together until combined
Add sugar and vanilla to egg mix and combine
Cut crusts off bread and spread with nutella
Sandwich two slices together nutella side facing
Warm a frying pan to medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon butter per sandwich
Dip bread in egg mix and fry in pan approx 1-2 min each side until golden
Remove from pan and keep warm under low heat oven grill or by wrapping in foil until all sandwiches are cooked
Cut in half and serve with quartered strawberries and dust with icing sugar
Take a bite and enjoy the gooey hazelnutty chocolately toasty goodness. You can tell I enjoy this recipe right? 😉
