French Chocolate Hazelnut Toast
Prepare to tantalize your taste buds with this simple yet luxurious dish. With a few quality ingredients, you will create a toast that’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with chocolatey goodness.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (French or sourdough works best)
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup of chopped hazelnuts
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Fresh strawberries or bananas (for serving)
- Maple syrup (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step will ensure your toast gets perfectly crispy.
- While the oven is heating, take your slices of bread and spread a generous layer of the chocolate hazelnut spread on one side of each slice.
- Once all slices are covered, spread the softened butter on the opposite side of the bread. This will help them achieve that golden-brown crispiness when baking.
- Place the slices butter-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts evenly over the chocolate spread for an extra crunch.
- Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the chocolate spread is melty.
- Once out of the oven, drizzle a little maple syrup over each slice if desired, and dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
- Serve your French Chocolate Hazelnut Toast warm, topped with fresh strawberries or bananas for added flavor and freshness.
This recipe is perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a special treat anytime you crave something sweet and indulgent. Enjoy every crispy, chocolatey bite!
