Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 3–4 tablespoons Nutella
Custard Mixture:
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk (almond milk recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Cooking & Garnish:
- Coconut oil, butter, or oil for frying
- Fresh strawberries
- Cocoa powder or powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Create a velvety custard by whisking eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a wide, shallow mixing bowl until smooth and well-integrated.
- Generously spread Nutella across the surface of each bread slice, carefully constructing two decadent sandwiches with the chocolate-hazelnut spread facing inward.
- Gently submerge each sandwich into the prepared custard mixture, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid for approximately 30-45 seconds on each side, ensuring thorough saturation without becoming waterlogged.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of oil, carefully placing the custard-soaked sandwiches into the pan and cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer the crispy French toast to serving plates, elegantly slicing each sandwich diagonally and finishing with a delicate dusting of cocoa powder or powdered sugar, then adorning with fresh, vibrant strawberries for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- Master the custard by whisking ingredients thoroughly to eliminate lumps and ensure even coating.
- Choose thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah to prevent falling apart during soaking and cooking.
- Control heat carefully to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning the Nutella-filled sandwich.
- Customize dietary needs by using gluten-free bread, dairy-free milk alternatives, or sugar-free Nutella substitutes.
