Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter for frying
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Trim the crusts off each slice of bread, creating a flat rectangular surface.
- Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each bread slice to make it thinner and more pliable.
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella across each bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange sliced strawberries evenly along one edge of each Nutella-covered bread slice.
- Carefully roll the bread tightly from the strawberry-lined edge, creating a compact roll. Press edges to seal.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
- Dip each bread roll into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly but not soaking.
- Place rolls seam-side down in the heated skillet, cooking until golden brown on all sides (approximately 2-3 minutes per side).
- Remove rolls from skillet and place on a serving plate.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar just before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately while Nutella is soft and strawberries are fresh.
Tips
- Choose fresh, soft bread that's not too thick - white or brioche works best for easy rolling.
- Make sure to trim crusts and roll bread thin to ensure a uniform, compact roll.
- Don't oversaturate rolls in egg mixture - a light coating prevents soggy results.
- Use medium heat to achieve a golden-brown exterior without burning.
- Seal roll edges carefully to prevent Nutella and strawberries from leaking during cooking.
- Use room temperature Nutella for easier spreading and more even distribution.
- Cut strawberries into thin, even slices to help rolls roll smoothly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melted Nutella experience.
- For extra decadence, serve with additional fresh strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- If preparing for a crowd, you can keep rolls warm in a low-temperature oven while cooking in batches.
