Make Delicious Nutella French Roll Toast for a Guaranteed Treat
On weekend mornings or afternoons, I often find myself craving something sweet. While considering a regular French toast, I spotted the jar of Nutella at home. I decided to elevate the experience by creating Nutella French Roll Toast! Made with simple, readily available ingredients, this recipe guarantees a sweet and nutty flavor that both children and adults will absolutely love. It’s an easy yet impressive dessert or breakfast treat that’s sure to become a favorite.
Ingredients- 3 slices of bread
- 3 Tbsp Nutella
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the crusts off the 3 slices of bread. This step ensures a neater roll and a more aesthetically pleasing final presentation.
Step 2
Next, use a rolling pin to flatten the bread slices. Gently press down and roll repeatedly. Be careful not to press too hard, as the bread might tear. Flattening it makes it easier to roll tightly.
Step 3
As you can see, the bread becomes quite thin and flat after rolling. This thinness is crucial for preventing the Nutella from oozing out when rolled and for maintaining the roll’s shape.
Step 4
Spread the Nutella evenly across the flattened bread slices, covering them completely. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges to minimize leakage when rolled and to ensure every bite is filled with hazelnut goodness.
Step 5
Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the bread with the Nutella spread inside. Once rolled, place the seam side down. This helps to secure the roll and prevent it from unraveling.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the custard for our French toast. Crack 1 large egg into a shallow bowl.
Step 7
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the egg. Since Nutella is already sweet, adding just a moderate amount of sugar helps balance the flavors without making it overly sweet.
Step 8
Whisk the egg and sugar together thoroughly. Keep whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This creates a lovely custard coating.
Step 9
Dip each Nutella-filled bread roll into the egg-sugar mixture, ensuring it’s coated evenly on all sides. Let any excess drip off before placing it in the pan.
Step 10
Time to cook! Heat about 4 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. It’s important to use medium-low heat to ensure the bread cooks through without burning the custard coating.
Step 11
Carefully place the egg-coated Nutella rolls into the hot oil. Fry for about 30-50 seconds per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The custard cooks quickly, so keep an eye on them and turn frequently.
Step 12
Once lightly golden, remove the rolls from the pan and dip them back into the remaining egg mixture. This second dip adds an extra layer of richness and fluffiness.
Step 13
Return the double-dipped rolls to the skillet over medium-low heat. Fry for another 30-50 seconds on each side until beautifully golden brown and crisp. This double-coating and frying technique results in an exceptionally delicious, crispy exterior and a soft, gooey Nutella center.
Step 14
Once cooked to perfection, slice the Nutella French Roll Toasts diagonally. This not only makes them easier to eat but also presents them beautifully on the plate.
Step 15
Finally, dust the sliced Nutella French Roll Toasts with powdered sugar using a sieve. The light dusting adds a touch of elegance and a hint of extra sweetness.
Step 16
Enjoy your delightful homemade Nutella French Roll Toast!
