Description
This Banana and Nutella Stuffed French Toast is a decadent, indulgent breakfast featuring custard-soaked bread filled with creamy Nutella and sweet banana slices. Crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside—perfect for brunch or a special morning treat.
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread, cut 1-inch thick
- 1/4 cup Nutella hazelnut spread
- 2 bananas, sliced, plus extra slices for serving
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter, for frying
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each slice of bread without cutting all the way through.
- Spread Nutella inside each pocket, then add banana slices.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the bottom.
- In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Dip each stuffed bread slice into the custard mixture, coating all sides thoroughly.
- Fry slices in batches for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with extra banana slices and maple syrup.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best results.
- Try adding a spoonful of cream cheese inside for extra richness.
- Replace bananas with strawberries for a fruity twist.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the custard for more depth.
- Bake instead of fry for a lighter alternative.
