This recipe uses simple staples, but choosing the right bread and coating makes all the difference in getting that churro-style finish. Thick slices hold the filling well and the cinnamon sugar brings everything together.

• Thick Bread: Use sturdy slices like sourdough or brioche so the bread absorbs the custard without falling apart.
• Nutella: A teaspoon per slice melts into the center and gives you that warm, creamy filling.
• Eggs: The base of the custard that helps the toast set with a soft but stable texture.
• Cinnamon Sugar: Creates the signature churro-style coating that adds sweetness and crunch.

Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.

How To Make Nutella Stuffed French Toasts

1. Whisk the Custard: Combine the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar in a shallow bowl until smooth.

2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread one teaspoon of Nutella on each bread, then press the slices to form two stuffed sandwiches.

3. Soak: Place each sandwich in the mixture and let it absorb liquid to soften without falling apart.

4. Heat the Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet with a little butter over medium heat.

5. Cook the Toast: Fry each sandwich on both sides until the bread is golden and the center is warm.

6. Serve: Press each piece into cinnamon sugar to coat the outside, then serve with yogurt, ice cream, or a little extra Nutella.

This Nutella Stuffed French Toast already leans indulgent, so pairing it with something bright or creamy makes the whole plate feel more balanced. A spoonful of Homemade Blueberry Sauce adds a tart, juicy contrast that cuts through the sweetness in the best way. If you want something refreshing, a small cup of Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake Salad brings fruit, creaminess and a light tropical feel that works beautifully with the warm Nutella center. And for a more playful pairing, a scoop of Instant Blueberry Frozen Yogurt adds a cool burst that melts into each bite without overpowering the churro-style coating.

Tips For Making Nutella Stuffed French Toast

• I like using day-old bread because it holds the custard better and gives the toast a sturdier bite.
• A thin layer of Nutella works best. It melts into the center without making the bread slip around.
• Give the sandwiches a quick soak. Just enough to soften the bread but not enough to drown it.
• Medium heat is your friend here. It keeps the outside golden while the inside turns warm and creamy.
• Let the toast sit for a moment before slicing. It gives the Nutella time to settle in all the right places.
