Crunchy Stuffed Nutella and Banana French Toast Recipe
[Photograph: Yvonne Ruperti]
Crunchy cornflakes coat these buttery french toast sandwiches stuffed with oozy chocolate-hazelnut Nutella and fresh banana.
Notes: Challah or brioche can be substituted for the white bread, but don't cut the bread thicker than a half inch. Any thicker and the cornflakes may darken too much by the time the center cooks through.

- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 medium bananas, sliced thin
- 2 to 4 tablespoons unsalted buttter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
- Maple syrup for serving on the side
Directions
-
1.
In medium bowl, whisk cream, milk, eggs, yolk, sugar, vanilla, and salt to combine. Place cornflakes in pie plate or shallow bowl.
-
2.
Spread a scant tablespoon Nutella onto each bread slice, keeping 1/4-inch from edge. Arrange banana slices in even layer onto 4 of the bread slices, keeping bananas 1/2-inch from edge. Sandwich with remaining bread slices, pressing gently to adhere.
-
3.
Dip each french toast sandwich into egg mixture, soaking well. Place in cornflakes and coat both sides well. Transfer sandwiches to large plate.
-
4.
Heat half of the butter in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, until foaming subsides, tilting the pan to coat evenly. Place french toast sandwiches in pan and cook until bottom is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. (Adjust heat if browning too quickly).
-
5.
Flip sandwiches, and add remaining butter to the pan, lifting sandwiches so that butter can get underneath. Cook until cooked through and the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes more.
-
6.
Transfer to cutting board and cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup.
