This is the type of "chic" breakfast that you can order at a good brunch restaurant during your vacation. It's the perfect way to surprise the special people in your life and make them smile.

What you need to make stuffed French toast

The list of ingredients is simple and straightforward for this French toast stuffed with Nutella. But just like my secret toast recipe, it's the vanilla added to the custard that makes the difference in a truly fabulous toast.

• Eggs: large eggs are beaten to create the mixture that soaks and softens the bread.
• Milk: Dilute and lighten the flan to make it creamy.
• Cinnamon: a little ground cinnamon adds a fantastic flavor.
• Vanilla: The secret ingredient to include in every French toast recipe!
• Butter: I used to fry french toast for a wonderful buttery crust.
• Bread: Thick slices of challah bread all day is the best French toast, but brioche bread, Texas toast or French bread also works.
• Nutella: This chocolate cream with hazelnuts is essentially magic for breakfast and makes everything more delicious.

Optional ingredients:

• Granulated sugar: to sprinkle on finished slices of stuffed French toast.
• Fresh fruits: Strawberries or sliced ​​bananas are particularly good options.
• Syrup: A drizzle of maple syrup or caramel really takes this stuffed French toast over it.

How to make stuffed French toast

• Make the pastry cream: In a medium bowl or deep plate, add the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla and mix until smooth.
• Assemble stuffed French toast: Spread a slice of bread with a good even layer of Nutella, then garnish with a second slice of bread to create a sandwich. Set aside for now.
• Heat the pan: You want the surface of your griddle or stove to be nice and warm. Add the butter to melt.
• Bake French toast: Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, dip each piece of Nutella-stuffed bread in the custard, turning it over to cover both sides for a few seconds. Place in the melted butter and fry until golden. Flip and repeat on the other side.
• Serve hot: Sprinkle the finished French toast with powdered sugar, then garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Tips for making stuffed French toast

• Use hard bread. It absorbs cream better than really fresh bread and has a better texture when fried.
• Do not spread the Nutella to the brim. Leave a small border so that it does not drip while baking French toast.
• Be careful not to soak the bread for too long, otherwise it will soak and not bake. Just flirt it for a few seconds on each side.
• I like to use whole milk, but half and half or the heavy cream can be substituted.
