WHAT YOU NEED-
- Bread– I love to use brioche bread for all my French toast recipes, but you can use any bread. Bread such as French bread, Challah, sourdough, sandwich bread or even Hawaiian rolls can be used when making French toast.
- Eggs– Fresh eggs are essential for creating that rich, custard-like coating on your bread.
- Cream– You can opt for regular milk, half-and-half, or even flavored creamers like hazelnut or sweet cream for a sweeter twist for your stuffed French toast.
- Cinnamon– A pinch of cinnamon adds a cozy, aromatic touch to the dish. Feel free to skip it if it’s not to your taste.
- Vanilla– Adding vanilla extract to the egg mixture adds so much additional flavors!
- Nutella– For the filling, you want to use Nutella, or any other off brand hazelnut spread.
- Butter– To cook the French toast, you want to use unsalted butter. This will give you the perfect butter and crispy French toast.
HOW TO MAKE NUTELLA FRENCH TOAST
This homemade stuffed Nutella French toast is so effortless!
- Spread the Nutella onto the bread slices and join 2 pieces of bread together. Repeat to create 2 sandwiches.
- In a bowl, whisk together everything for the egg mixture.
- Heat a skillet with butter over medium heat.
- Dredge the sandwiches in the egg mixture, fully coating all the bread. (Do NOT oversoak, or your will get soggy French toast.)
- Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from the skillet, transfer to a plate, and serve with desired toppings!
| Soaking Tip– You want to make sure you soak the bread enough that is absorbs the egg mixture, but also not too much that it becomes soggy. You want to soak for about 20-30 seconds per side. |
FRENCH TOAST STUFFING OPTIONS
You don’t have to just limit the filling to just Nutella, have fun with you filling! Pair the Nutella for a heartier filling:
- Berries– Add raspberries or strawberries (sliced or chopped) along with the Nutella for added flavor!
- Bananas– Load up the filling with Nutella and sliced bananas, the ultimate combo.
- Peanut Butter– Make it Reese’s flavored and spread Nutella on one side and peanut butter on the other side.
- Smores– Make Smores Stuffed French toast and add marshmallow fluff on one side and Nutella on another side. Top with crushed graham crackers for extra flavor.
- Caramel– Swirl in some caramel into the Nutella spread for a delicious combination of flavors.
Swap out the Nutella for a different spread:

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE:
I highly recommend using thick cut bread, I like to buy a whole load and slice it myself! You can use French bread, sourdough, brioche bread.
You can store the leftover stuffed French toast covered or in a container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
I do not recommend that you freeze leftover Nutella French toast.
Yes, you can make the French toast ahead of time and just reheat before serving. I do recommend enjoying this recipe fresh, it comes together in just 15 minutes!
Yes, the sweetened bread and the rich Nutella make it sweet. But you can take out the sugar in the egg mixture and do less Nutella in the center to make it less sweet.
Yes! Use dark chocolate spread instead for a rich cocoa taste, and a less sweeter filling.
