Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 8 (1/2-inch) thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 8 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread, divided
  • Grade B maple syrup or powdered sugar, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and salt.

Working in batches, melt some of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderately-high heat.

Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and quickly transfer to the skillet.

Cook 2 slices of the bread until golden brown, and then flip over and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Spread 2 tablespoons of the chocolate hazelnut spread on 1 piece of the bread, and place the other piece of cooked bread on top to enclose the chocolate hazelnut spread.

Gently press down with a spatula so the pieces stick together.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with grade B maple syrup or powered sugar.
