Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons butter
8 (1/2-inch) thick slices brioche or challah bread
8 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread, divided

Spread 2 tablespoons of the chocolate hazelnut spread on 1 piece of the bread, and place the other piece of cooked bread on top to enclose the chocolate hazelnut spread. Gently press down with a spatula so the pieces stick together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with grade B maple syrup or powered sugar.

Time 7h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 loaf day-old crusty Italian bread, cut into 2-inch cubes
8 eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup light brown sugar

  • Place the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish.
  • Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Gently push the bread down to absorb the egg mixture. Dollop the chocolate-hazelnut spread over the bread and mix it in until evenly distributed.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 19-ounce loaf brioche
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of kosher salt
4 large eggs
4 cups cinnamon-flavored cereal, crushed
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more if needed
2 bananas, sliced into thick rounds
Confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Slice the brioche into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices (6 to 8 slices). Lay each slice on its side and cut a 2-inch slit into the bottom of each. Fill the slit with about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
  • Whisk together the milk, vanilla, salt and eggs in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Place the crushed cereal in another baking dish. Dip a slice of the filled brioche into the egg mixture on both sides a few times, making sure the mixture has soaked in, then transfer to the cereal dish and coat with cereal on both sides. Place the bread on a cutting board or plate while finishing dredging the rest. Repeat with the remaining slices, egg mix and cereal.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place as many slices as will fit in the skillet. Cook on one side until the coating is crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a platter. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the skillet and then more slices. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and slices, reserving 2 tablespoons of butter for the bananas.
  • Add the remaining butter to the skillet, let it melt and place the bananas in a single layer in the melted butter. Cook until caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Top the toast with the bananas and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

6 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 loaf brioche bread, sliced about 3/4-inch thick
3/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
3 ripe bananas, sliced on diagonal
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
