What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Nutella Espresso Rollups! French toast makes every day a wonderful day, doesn’t it? Now you can take a few basic ingredients, follow a super simple recipe, and create a treat that tastes like a chocolate-filled donut. Each sugar coated flute is perfect as a finger food for weekend breakfast, lazy day brunch, afternoon snack, or late night dessert. Ambitious cooks may choose to make more than one variation. I’m thinking flavored cream cheese and strawberry filling, for one. Peanut Butter Banana is another. Meat lovers may decide to use sausage links, then drizzle them with maple syrup. You’re thinking holiday buffet. I can see it in your eyes.
NUTELLA ESPRESSO ROLLUPS
Ingredients:
6 slices honey wheat bread
1/2 cup Nutella spread*
1/4 teaspoon espresso powder
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons fine sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Nutella, for drizzling
Powdered Sugar, for garnish
Instructions:
Trim the edges of the sliced bread and discard crusts. Flatten bread with a rolling pin. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella on each slice. Sprinkle with espresso powder. Roll up the bread tightly and place seam side down on a plate. In a shallow dish, whisk together egg, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Set aside. On a plate, combine cinnamon and fine sugar. Set aside. Warm butter over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Do not scorch. Dip bread roll in the egg mixture, coating well. Place in the nonstick skillet, seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning often to brown all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove immediately and roll in cinnamon sugar. To serve, drizzle with Nutella and dust with powdered sugar.

Just remember…..when the jar of hazelnut spread is empty, you’re done. 😜 Unless you switch to peanut butter. 🤔

This is quite unique! After running a B&B for 18 years, I thought I’d made every kind of French toast possible, but I never made them rolled up!
