Method
 

Prepare the Sandwiches
  1. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of Nutella on 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice to form sandwiches. Press edges gently to seal.
Make the Batter

Cook the French Toast
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and foaming.
  2. Dip each sandwich into the batter, coating both sides well (about 20 seconds per side). Let excess drip off.
  3. Place in skillet and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Add more butter for second batch.
  4. Keep warm in a 200°F oven if cooking in batches.
