Notes
- MAKE AHEAD Make the egg mixture in advance and keep it in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up 48 hours. Bread can be sliced and filled 48 hours ahead of time and refrigerated.
- No pastry piping bags? No problem! Scoop the Nutella (or another filling) into a plastic sandwich bag and snip off a small corner on one side.
- To half this recipe, use 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk. The rest of the ingredients will also be halved.
- Place a baking sheet in the oven and heat to 175°F. Place cooked French toast on the pan to keep warm while making other batches.
