Begin the day with a sumptuous homemade breakfast and see the bright smile on your mother's face. This Mother's Day, make your mum feel special with a delicious Nutella French Toast. How? Here’s a recipe from Madhushree Basu Roy of @pikturenama:
Ingredients
- Bread: 2 slices
- Egg: 1
- Milk: 1tbsp
- Fine sugar: 1tsp
- Nutella: 2 tsp and more for serving
- Butter: 1 dollop
- Icing sugar and strawberries for garnish
Method
- In a shallow flat bottomed bowl, crack an egg and add sugar and milk. Whisk it, using a fork
- Apply a thick layer of Nutella on one bread, using 2 tsp of the chocolate spread
- Cover that with the other bread slice, making a sandwich. Carefully place this sandwich in the bowl with the egg. When one side has soaked enough egg, carefully flip and let the other side soak in all the egg
- Heat a frying pan. Let it become hot and then add a dollop of butter and let it melt. Don’t add the butter first and heat because then the butter will burn
- Gently slide the chocolate sandwich into the frying pan. Keep the heat at medium to low or else the butter will burn faster and become brown
- Once one side has crisped up, flip and cook the other side
- When both sides are brown and crispy, take the French toast out of the pan and put it on a kitchen towel to soak excess butter
- If you are making another set of French toast, you need to wipe the pan with a tissue paper to take out the brown burnt butter before making a fresh batch
- Cut the sandwich in a triangle. Drizzle more Nutella and dust icing sugar if you want. Serve with some cut up strawberries
Note from home chef Madhushree Basu Roy
About the bread: It is best to use medium-hard bread for French toast. A day or two-day-old bread works best. Brioche is an excellent choice since it is anyway buttery and becomes extra crispy when cooked further with the filling inside.
If you get a loaf and cut the bread into your desired thickness, it will be better. Sometimes sliced bread has thin slices. Then it becomes a soggy mess when you add that into the egg.
