Calories: 380kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb challah loaf OR brioche, cut into 2" thick slices
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2 bananas sliced
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 5 large eggs
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter for griddle
Optional toppings
- strawberries sliced
- bananas sliced
- chocolate hazelnut spread melted
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees or place a large skillet over medium heat.
- Using a paring knife, cut through the center of each slice (as if butterflying a chicken breast) keeping the end attached. Spread a heaping tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread inside center of each slice, the add a few banana slices (enough to cover the spread). Repeat with the remaining slices.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. Dip each side of french toast into egg mixture allowing a few seconds for it to soak up some the mixture. Avoid submerging the center.
- Add the butter griddle or pan, allow it to melt and bubble. Transfer the slices to the pan and cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until browned, about 2 minute. Serve immediately dusted with powdered sugar and topped with strawberries, bananas and melted spread, if desired.
Notes
-You can always swap out the chocolate hazelnut spread for peanut butter :)
