Challah French Toast Bake with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread | Nutella

INGREDIENTS for 10 portions

  • 8 large eggs

  • 2 ½ cups milk

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 loaf brioche/egg/challah bread sliced ½” thick  

  • 1 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (optional)

  • 120g Nutella® – 1 heaped tsp (15g per portion)

METHOD

  1. Challah French Toast Bake with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread step1 | Nutella
    STEP 1

    Generously butter a 9″ x 13″ baking dish. 

    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well blended, but don’t over-beat.

  2. Challah French Toast Bake with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread step2 | Nutella
    STEP 2

    Arrange the bread slices in 2 lengthwise rows in the baking dish, slightly overlapping the slices. 

  3. Challah French Toast Bake with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread step3 | Nutella
    STEP3

    Pour the egg mixture over the challah and gently press down. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. 

  4. Challah French Toast Bake with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread step4 | Nutella
    STEP 4

    Preheat the oven to 180° C. Meanwhile, carefully flip each piece of bread, doing this will allow the bread to soak up a little more of the liquid, ensuring the tops of the bread slices are moist.

    Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding-like texture or for 1 hour for a firmer, crisper texture.

    Top with toasted hazelnuts, if desired. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Scoop out individual portions and serve with 15g of  Nutella®.
