Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients:
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup whole milk
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons butter
8 (1/2-inch) thick slices brioche or challah bread
8 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread, divided
Maple syrup or powdered sugar, for serving
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and salt. Working in batches, melt some of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderately-high heat. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and quickly transfer to the skillet. Cook 2 slices of the bread until golden brown, and then flip over and cook until golden brown on the other side. Spread 2 tablespoons of the chocolate hazelnut spread on 1 piece of the bread, and place the other piece of cooked bread on top to enclose the chocolate hazelnut spread. Gently press down with a spatula so the pieces stick together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with maple syrup or powered sugar.
