    Is there anything better than Classic French Toast? How about super easy French toast with Nutella shaped into the most adorable hearts?

    Remember these scraps from the Valentine's Day egg in a hole toasts? Yep - they're baaaaack! This is just a simple reminder to use those scraps and turn them into another excellent breakfast or brunch addition - on the same day or the next!

    Classic French toast is the best french toast

    Let's keep French toast simple. I've never understood the fancy French toast but I also grew up on the easy and quick recipe without milk so that's what I prefer.

    All the recipe requires are eggs and pure vanilla extract for some added flavor. That's it.

    And somehow when you cut the French toast into something fun -- like hearts or even just "sticks," the kids go bananas and think it's the greatest French toast in all the world.

    The best bread for classic French toast

    Challah and brioche bread are two of my favorite breads for classic French toast...but honestly, I think the best French toast is the one that uses what you have in your kitchen. In this recipe, I my kids's favorite honey wheat bread.

    French toast toppings other than syrup

    I love a little powdered sugar, strawberries and Nutella on my French toast when I'm wanting to make mine a little fancier and more indulgent.

    Just put Nutella in a plastic bag, squeeze the Nutella around with your fingers so it gets a little warmer, cut the tip off the bag, then pipe the Nutella right onto the French toast before you devour it. You don't need any fancy equipment.

    Other toppings than syrup include unsweetened (or sweetened coconut flakes, chopped nuts, creamy peanut butter and oats, whipped cream, sprinkles (if you're in my house), honey, jam, and any number of fresh sliced fruit (bananas, strawberries, apples and cinnamon, raspberries, etc.).

    Happy breakfast'ing!

    Course: Breakfast, brunch
    Cuisine: American
    Keyword: blueberry breakfast cake, french toast, nutella, valentine's day
    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Servings: 4 people

    Ingredients

    • 16 cut-out hearts from your choice of bread
    • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    Instructions

    • Heat half the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When butter starts to sizzle, dip your the hearts in the egg mixture until they're completely soaked. Place on hot skillet and don't touch them for at least 2 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Flip then cook on other side until also golden brown.
    • Transfer hearts to a plate and cook second batch. Sprinkle powdered sugar all over the hearts and drizzle Nutella* all over.

    Notes

    *Nutella trick: Place Nutella in a plastic bag and give it a good couple of squeezes with your hands to warm it up.  Then cut just the tip of one of the ends of the plastic bag off to drizzle over french toast. This will help your Nutella drizzle nicely.  
     
    If you don't want to do Nutella, consider other toppings: unsweetened (or sweetened coconut flakes, chopped nuts, creamy peanut butter and oats, whipped cream, sprinkles (if you're in my house), honey, jam, and any number of fresh sliced fruit (bananas, strawberries, apples and cinnamon, raspberries, etc.).
