While aimlessly strolling through the aisles at Trader Joe's last week, I stopped in front of a beautiful loaf of Challah Braided Egg Bread. I immediately thought to myself, French toast! And sure enough, it was incredible, dare I say the best French toast I have ever made.
I suppose the part where it is loaded with Nutella is the kicker. It was breakfast pastry heaven, my friends. I know I say this about every recipe I post, but promise me you will make this sometime this week, okay? It's one of those things that is insanely easy to make, but seems like it takes an immense level of skill—that's a good thing. It's sure to impress the foodies in your life. ;)
Also, I am thinking I just need to start a separate food blog. I keep mulling over whether to start a whole new thing or just post more food on here. Decisions, decisions. People of the internet, what's a food-lover-and-styling-obsessed girl to do?!Moving on. Let's get to the recipe of this fantastically delicious dish, shall we?
The Best Loaded French Toast Recipe
Serving Size: 6
Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 loaf Trader Joe's Challah Braided Egg Bread
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup Nutella
1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk eggs, milk and cinnamon together.
2. Slice the bread into 2-inch sections. Take a slice and make an opening in the bread with a paring knife that is about 1 inch deep. Stuff the slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of Nutella. Dip it generously into the egg and milk mixture, making sure to coat it on all sides.
3. In a buttered frying pan, cook the bread on medium-low heat until golden brown on each side. Make sure to cook it on the tops and bottoms, too, for a crispy edge.
4. Place on a plate and let it cool for about 30 seconds. Load up the inside with strawberries, and dust the top with powdered sugar. Serve with a glass of milk and enjoy!
