Description

Ingredients

• 1 1lb. loaf of challah or brioche, cut into 2 thick slices
• ½ c. chocolate hazelnut spread
• 2 bananas, sliced
• ¼ c. milk
• ¼ c. heavy cream
• 5 large eggs
• ¾ tsp. vanilla extract
• ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. butter, for the griddle
• Optional toppings/garnishes:
• Sliced Strawberries
• Sliced Bananas
• Melted chocolate hazelnut spread
• Powdered sugar

Directions

• 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.
