- 1 egg3/4
- C milk3 Tbsp AP flour
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (and more for frying)
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Half loaf of brioche; cut into 8 3/8-in slices
- Nutella, a few tablespoons
- Powdered sugar for serving
Whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla together until a smooth, thin batter is formed.
Spread some Nutella on half of the brioche slices and then top with a second slice of brioche, forming 4 Nutella brioche sandwiches about 3/4-in thick.
Add a tablespoon of butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
To ensure even soaking of the bread, pour only half of the batter into a flat dish and soak both sides of 2 brioche pieces. You may not use up all of the batter but this way you don’t over soak the first two bread pieces, leaving you with not enough batter for the second two pieces.
Once you have soaked the first two slices, remove and start frying them. Pour the remaining half of the batter into the dish and soak the next two pieces of bread.
Fry the French toasts until crisp and brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side, flip then fry the second side until crisp and brown also, another minute or so.
Serve with powdered sugar.
