What is Stuffed French Toast?

French toast is one of those universally delicious foods. Plain or fancy, simple or complicated, syrup or no; there’s really no wrong way to go about it. That being said, there definitely are some ways of preparing this tasty treat that one might consider a bit more decadent.

Enter stuffed French toast: a delicious creation sandwiching two slices of French toast together stuffed with a hazelnut chocolate spread filling.

Filled French toast is a thing of beauty, this Nutella sandwich being no exception. Crispy and sweet on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside, and all of it complimented by that deliciously nutty and chocolaty hazelnut spread. It’s my kind of breakfast.
