World Nutella Day 2008
Yep. It’s that time again! World Nutella Day 2008. This year, it is February 5th. A time for all of us to celebrate worship Nutella. That thick, sweet, chocolaty, hazelnut spread. Goodness in a jar!
Unfortunately, I just missed the event last year. I didn’t know about it…or didn’t know about the bloggers that hosted the event. I did however, have a recipe I could have used. A Nutella dessert. You can read it about it here.
This year, my entry is a breakfast item. I present you……
Nutella French Toast
12 slices white bread or brioche
Nutella
5 eggs
2 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp cinnamon
splash of Grand Marnier
zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
powdered sugar
Make the batter. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, Grand Marnier, zest, juice, honey and vanilla in a large bowl. Spread equal amounts of Nutella on 6 slices of bread. Put another slice of bread on top, making a Nutella sandwich.
Heat griddle or pan on medium heat, melt butter in pané
Place each Nutella sandwich, one at a time, in the batter. Soak and turn to coat, but not for too long (you don’t want them soggy). Place each sandwich on the pan and cook until golden brown on each side. Cut each sandwich in half, diagonally. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
Serves 4. Each serving is 3 diagonal slices.
Enjoy! And please remember, this one is ooey-gooey, finger licking good. Don’t waste a morsel of this melted gold, called Nutella. I won’t tell if you decide to lick your plate clean….
Happy Nutella Day 2008, everyone!!

I am sitting in the Vegas airport…after a week of work and a weekend of fun. After 9 days of surviving on Chicken Caesar Salads and Pomegranate martinis…this sounds deliciously warm and cozy to me!

Hi Robin,
What a yummy breakfast we had today! My son wanted to thank you for the Nutella French Toast as he is declaring this assisted him to obtain an A on his Spanish exam! (Nice try, he’d have it each morning if he could I think!) I was wondering if you could comment on some antique stores here in the Hudson Valley that are worth venturing to.~
Thanks
Rose

Angie~ Your menu doesn’t sound half bad to me either. Less work for me….
he he. I will try to do a post on some antique shops for you…Thanks for the request!!
Beatriz~ I hope he loves it as much as I did!! Please come back and let me know.
Steph~ You can find it! Any local Italian deli should have it..or it’s even in our supermarkets here.
Rose~ I don’t know if I am happier that he liked the recipe…or that I was the reason for his A in Spanish
