Nutella Brioche French Toast

For my chocolate / Nutella lovers, here’s a twist on the classic French toast recipe.

Alternative breads: Challah bread, normal sliced toast, crumpets (shout out to Kitchen Butterfly for her twist on my recipe!).

WHAT YOU NEED

• Brioche loaf (Sainsburys Taste The Difference is my fav)

• 150g milk

• 100g double cream

• 3 whole eggs

• 1/2 cinnamon

• 1/2 salt

• 60g sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla

• Knob of butter (unsalted)

• Berries or fruit you have at home (I prefer sour fruit such as strawberries, blueberries for balance)

• Equipment: You'll need a piping bag and pipe. I got mine from Lakeland years ago, but you can get it on Amazon or any bakery store and some supermarkets.

I use Sainsbury’s Brioche Loaf, Taste the Difference 400g

STEPS

1. Add the milk, double cream, cinnamon, salt, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract into a bowl and mix.

2. Slice the brioche bread into thick slices (3 cm thickness).

3. Then make a 2-3cm slit at the bottom-end of the bread in the middle, then insert the Nutella into it.

4. Now dip the bread in the custard mix. Then melt some butter in a frying pan (medium heat – just make sure the butter doesn’t burn).

5. Now place the bread in the frying pan, and turn once it turns a light brown. Remove once brown on both sides.

6. Garnish with berries.
