Nutella Stuffed French Toast Recipe

1. Preheat an electric griddle to 350 to 375 degrees F. Slice bread into 1¼-inch slices using a serrated knife.

2. Cut through the center of each slice (as if butterflying a chicken breast), keeping the end attached.

3. Spread a slightly heaping tablespoon of Nutella inside the center of each slice, set aside.

4. To a blender, add milk, cream, eggs, vanilla, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder and cinnamon.

5. Pulse on low speed, just until combined. Pour into a shallow dish.

6. Dip each side of french toast into the egg mixture. Allow a few seconds for it to soak up some of the mixture.

7. Butter griddle just before transferring the soaked bread and cook stuffed french toast until golden brown on the bottom.

8. Lift the toast, butter griddle once more, and flip to the opposite side. Cook until golden brown.

9. Dust with powdered sugar, top with macerated strawberries, and serve immediately.

Macerated Strawberries:

1. In a bowl, toss together diced strawberries and sugar and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator.
