For the full recipe, check out the details above. Start by taking two slices of thick bread. I like using brioche or challah for the best taste. Spread a good layer of Nutella on one side of each slice. Now, place the other slices on top. You have made two Nutella sandwiches! In a shallow bowl, whisk together two large eggs. Add in 1/4 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon of sugar for some sweetness. Blend everything well until it's smooth. Now it’s time to soak your sandwiches in the egg mixture. Dip each Nutella sandwich into the mixture, making sure both sides get coated. Let them sit for a minute so they soak up some custard. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Watch it melt and bubble. Carefully place your soaked sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. You want them golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning! Once done, take them out and let them cool a bit. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy with fresh strawberries or bananas. For the full recipe, check out the earlier section! For the best Nutella stuffed French toast, choose thick bread. I love brioche and challah. They soak up the egg mix well. Their soft texture makes each bite a treat. You can also try sourdough for a nice twist. Just make sure the bread is fresh for the best taste. A perfect texture comes from the right soak time. Dip each Nutella sandwich into the egg mix. Let it soak for about a minute on each side. This helps the bread absorb flavor. Don't rush this step! Cook on medium heat to avoid burning. You want it golden brown, not dark. You can cook your French toast in a skillet or on a griddle. Both work well! If you want a healthier option, try baking. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the soaked sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway. This method gives you a soft inside and a slightly crisp outside. For more fun, try using a waffle iron! Just make sure to grease it well before cooking. {{image_2}} You can add fresh berries to your French toast. Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries are great choices. Simply add a layer of berries inside the Nutella sandwich before cooking. The berries will burst with juice and add a fresh taste. This makes each bite even more delicious. You can also serve extra berries on the side. They add color and a fruity twist. For a nutty twist, mix Nutella with peanut butter. Spread a layer of peanut butter on one slice of bread before adding Nutella. This combo gives you the best of both worlds. The rich chocolate hazelnut flavor meets the salty, creamy peanut butter. It’s a real treat! You can also add sliced bananas for more flavor and nutrition. If you want a savory version, try adding cheese and spinach. Use a mild cheese like mozzarella or cream cheese.

After that, bacteria can grow. To keep it safe, store it in the fridge when not serving. What can I substitute for cherries if unavailable? If you can’t find cherries, try other fruits like blueberries or strawberries. You can even use fruit preserves. Each option will give a unique taste to the dip.

This step removes extra starch. It keeps the rice fluffy. Next, take a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed rice and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Turn the heat to medium-high until it boils. Once boiling, lower the heat to low. Cover it and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This allows the rice to soak up the broth. After cooking, fluff it gently with a fork. Set the rice aside for later. Now, grab a large skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion. Cook it for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes soft and clear. Then, add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook for another minute. Be careful not to let it burn. Next, toss in 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms. Cook these for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir them occasionally until they are soft and browned. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook this mixture for 2 more minutes. This is where the magic happens, and the flavors blend together. Now, it’s time to combine everything. Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the mushroom mixture. Gently fold the rice into the mushrooms. Make sure everything mixes well. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. Once combined, turn off the heat. For a fresh touch, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top. Your garlic butter mushroom rice is now ready to serve!

Use unsalted butter for rich taste. Fresh garlic adds a great aroma. Mince it well to release sweet notes. Sauté onions first for a sweet base. Add mushrooms next for depth. Season with dried thyme and soy sauce. These ingredients boost umami flavors. A sprinkle of salt and pepper rounds it off. For a fresh touch, add parsley before serving. Avoid cooking rice without rinsing. This can make it gummy and sticky. Don't skip the resting time after cooking. It lets moisture settle and improves texture.

Lastly, don’t forget to taste and adjust seasoning. This step ensures balanced flavors.
