Hazelnut Croissant Toast With Nutella Butter Recipe

Hazelnut Croissant Toast With Nutella Butter

From keni 13 years ago

A truly indulgent breakfast treat that's so quick and easy to prepare. These taste suspiciously like a high end yeast doughnut. :)

6 full sized or 12 mini croissants, whole, do not slice or cut shopping list
4 eggs shopping list
1T liquid hazelnut coffee creamer OR 1T dry creamer with 1T half and half added shopping list
about 3T butter for frying shopping list
a pinch of fine sea salt shopping list
For nutella Butter
about 1/2 cup nutella shopping list
1T butter(no subs) shopping list

Whisk together eggs, creamer and salt in pie plate or similar.
Add a few of the croissants, and let sit in egg mixture on one side at least 1 minute, then flip and repeat.
In heavy skillet, over medium heat, melt about 1/2T butter for each croissant you are going to fry at once. Work in batches and don't crowd them in the pan.
Put the next batch of croissants in the egg mixture as above, while the first batch is frying. These should only take a couple of minutes each side to get a nice golden brown.
Repeat with remaining croissants. You may have egg mixture left over, as croissants tend to not soak up the egg as much as other breads. That's okay!
For Nutella Butter
In small glass bowl, microwave together Nutella and butter, at about 15 second intervals, stirring well each time, and making sure not to over heat.
Once butter is incorporated and texture is smooth and pourable, drizzle over finished toasts to serve.
Sprinkle with a tiny bit of powdered sugar or powdered creamer, if desired.

My take two was excellent! I burned the first batch, though, which was definitely my error - pan too hot, distracted and I think even the creamer I was using had too much sugar in it. So, the second batch I started fresh and just used half & half with a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavor, like I usually make French toast. So easy! I also used 2 Tbsp butter in the drizzle to thin it out more. This was decadent and delicious - perfect "treat" breakfast with a good cup of coffee and a little fruit!

Does the croissant get fully submerged in the egg mixture or just the tops & bottoms? Mine are sort of tall.
