Baked Nutella French Toast

My mother loves French Toast. I love Nutella. I thought that an overnight French Toast concoction involving Nutella would be an excellent way to kick off a glorious summer of cooking at home.

Overnight Nutella French Toast

Ingredients:

6 eggs

2 cups heavy cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

½ cup maple syrup

¼ cup honey

1 loaf day-old challah, sliced (roughly 10 slices)

Nutella to taste

2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions:

1. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
2. Drizzle ½ cup maple syrup and ¼ cup honey in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.
3. Slather challah slices generously with Nutella, making “sandwiches” with each set of two slices of challah bread.
4. Dip each “sandwich” fully into the egg and cream mixture. Then line up the “sandwiches” in the baking pan.
5. Pour the remainder of the egg and cream mixture into the baking pan.
6. Refrigerate overnight, tightly covered.
7. Bake at 365 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
   
   
   Happy baking!
