Traditional French Toast With Warm Nutella Recipe

NOTHING FANCY / EGGS ALL DAY

1. 1

   In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

2. 2

   Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing the bread to soak for about 15-20 seconds per side to absorb the flavors without becoming mushy.

3. 3

   Warm a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat and add butter, letting it melt and foam.

4. 4

   Once the butter is foamy, lift the soaked bread slices and let any excess custard drip off before placing them in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.

5. 5

   While the toast is cooking, gently warm Nutella in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-20 second bursts, stirring until smooth and pourable.

6. 6

   Stack or lay the French toast on plates, drizzle or spread warm Nutella over the top, and dust with powdered sugar.

7. 7

   Serve immediately. Optional: add a dollop of Nutella on the side for extra dipping or garnish with fresh fruit if desired.
