Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella between 2 slices of bread, forming 8 sandwiches. Use the dull edge of a large water glass to cut one clean circle out of each sandwich, cutting off the crusts and sealing the sandwich.

2. Mix together the eggs, milk, sugar, orange juice, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large shallow bowl. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture until they are well-covered. Do this in small batches, because you’ll cook the French toast immediately after each egg dip.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil on a griddle or in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add half the sandwiches and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides. Repeat with the remaining oil and sandwiches. Serve immediately.
