All my french toast recipes calls for a lesser number of eggs than what you would expect normally. Hubby and me cannot eat the bread if it smells egg-y and that is the reason we most often do not like the french toast that we get in restaurants. So when I make it at home, I cut down on the number of eggs in the custard. If you like the traditional french toasts, add up to 4 eggs in this recipe and reduce the amount of liquid ingredients.
Ingredients8 thick slices of bread
3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1/2 cup + 3-4 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup heavy cream or half & half
pinch of salt
2/3 cup nutella
4 oz cream cheese softened
15-20 strawberries, sliced
Method
* In a bowl whisk together milk, heavy cream and eggs.
* Add sugar and salt and whisk till well combined. Set aside the custard.
* In a plate, combine sugar and cinnamon powder and set aside.
* In another bowl, add nutella and softened cream cheese.
* Whisk till the mixture is smooth and set aside.
* Heat your griddle pan on medium heat. Melt some butter on it.
* Take a bread slice and dip it in the prepared custard from both sides.
* Place the dipped bread on the hot griddle pan.
* Cook till both sides turn golden brown.
* Remove the bread from pan and immediately dip it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Coat well on both sides.
* Repeat the same with the second bread. Both breads should be coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture from both sides.
* Apple 2-3 teaspoons of nutella filling on both the breads and place some sliced strawberries on top.
* Repeat the whole process with the remaining breads till the custard is over
* Cut into slices and serve the stuffed nutella french toast with more fresh strawberries and maple syrup.
