PREPARATION
To prepare this delicious recipe, 1 tbsp of Nutella® per person is enough to enjoy!
- STEP 1
Generously grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with butter. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well blended, but don’t over-beat.
- STEP 2
Arrange the bread slices in 2 lengthwise rows in the baking dish, slightly overlapping the slices.
- STEP 3
Pour the egg mixture over the challah bread slices and gently press down so it soaks into the bread. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminium foil and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. 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 1 tbsp of Nutella®.
