I love an indulgent breakfast, usually on the weekends or holidays but I would take these any day of the year. These are perfect to make for that special someone for Valentine’s Day, or to serve at a party brunch.
Nutella Stuffed French Toast with Macerated Strawberries
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love the irresistible flavor combinations of Nutella and Strawberries? It is like a creamier version of chocolate-covered strawberries and hazelnuts’ nutty flavor.
So, I have this confession. I just tried Nocciolata for the first time and I’m sold (it’s an Italian chocolate hazelnut spread). I like it better than Nutella (I never thought I’d say I’ve found something better). Yes, it’s true, but the stuff is harder to find so either one works perfectly for these. Don’t worry, I still love you Nutella. Any brand will do, as long as you love it that’s all that matters. But what matters here is this French toast.
What are Macerated Strawberries?
Macerated strawberries are strawberries that are mixed with sugar and liquid, and then left to soak or marinate to absorb the sugar. This creates soft, sweet strawberries that almost melt on your tongue. It’s a bit like a pie filling, with a slightly syrupy sweetness and soft consistency. Macerated strawberries are perfect for topping your favorite dishes, like French toast, ice cream, cheesecakes, and more. You’ll want to eat them right out of the bowl! Sweet, macerated strawberries covering hot off the griddle, fluffy, perfectly buttery toasted french toast, that’s sandwiched with warm, runny Nutella drenching each soft bite. Yes, do enjoy!
