Ingredients
1
1 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
5 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup Nutella or Nocciolata
Butter
Powdered sugar
1 1/2 lbs strawberries
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
Directions
Preheat an electric griddle to 350 - 375 degrees. Slice bread using a serrated knife into 1 1/4-inch slices. Cut through the center of each slice keeping the end attached. Spread a slightly heaping tablespoon of Nutella inside center of each slice, set aside. To a blender, add milk, cream, eggs, vanilla, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Pulse on low speed, about 10 seconds until well combined. Pour into a shallow dish. Dip each side of french toast into egg mixture allowing a few seconds for it to soak up some the mixture, being careful not to submerge the Nutella spread center . Butter griddle just before transferring soaked bread and cook stuffed french toast until golden brown on bottom, then lift, butter griddle once more and flip to opposite side and cook until golden brown. Serve immediately dusted with powdered sugar and topped with macerated strawberries.
In a bowl, toss together diced strawberries and sugar and let rest at room temperature 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator.
