For anyone who has read this blog, I know, I know\u2026this isn\u2019t really a food blog. That being said, there are things that I want to do in the kitchen. Not regular meal planning prep (the Mrs. is WAY better at that), but dad-related things: cooking projects with the kids, over the top ridiculous recipes, silly food stuff for the kids to eat, and all things bacon-related. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one fits in the over-the-top-ridiculous category. This is the recipe I chose to make myself, on Father\u2019s Day, because it\u2019s that kind of good (and that kind of not-good for you). It\u2019s also something that everyone loves (I mean, what\u2019s not to love; it\u2019s French toast meets Nutella?!). It\u2019s also super simple to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily make this with just a couple pieces of bread or the whole loaf; It\u2019s easy to scale. The recipe below is for a whole loaf of bread which, for the generic loaf I bought at Kroger, gave me 20 slices if you don\u2019t count the butts (because no one\u2019s going to eat those anyway). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since I hate finding a recipe on a blog that\u2019s loaded with too much exposition just to squeeze in an extra ad or two, I\u2019ll get right to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • Loaf of bread (white or whole wheat sandwich bread. Don\u2019t go fancy here, just get the cheap stuff)<\/li>
  • Chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella or generic)<\/li>
  • 2 Eggs<\/li>
  • \u00bd cup of milk<\/li>
  • 1 tsp vanilla (optional)<\/li>
  • Butter (to lube the pan)<\/li>
  • Powdered sugar (optional)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Directions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    1. Flatten the bread with a rolling pin (or wine\/whiskey bottle).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

      1. Cut off the crusts (in know, I\u2019m still 6 years old\u2026).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        1. Spread the hazelnut spread on one side of the bread (It\u2019s tempting to spread it on thick. Don\u2019t do it! The bread is super thin already which only lowers the ratio of bread to hazelnut spread in favor of the yummy sweetness). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
          1. Roll up the bread.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
            1. Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla (the vanilla isn\u2019t necessary, but it does fancy it up some) in a shallow bowl or pie dish. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
              1. Heat a pan over medium heat. <\/li>
              2. Dip the rolled-up hazelnut yummy bread in the egg mixture and roll it around to cover it completely. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n
                \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                1. Add a pat of butter to the pan (or if you grew up watching Paula Deen, a half a stick. That\u2019s a joke. Don\u2019t actually do that\u2026).<\/li>
                2. When the butter is melted and there is a little sizzle to the pan (don\u2019t over-heat the pan; you don\u2019t want to burn the butter), add the rolled-up bread. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                  1. When one side is browned, flip over and brown the next side. In the end I needed to brown four sides.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
                    \n
                    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    1. Put on a plate and dust some powdered sugar through a metal strainer (optional). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
                      \n
                      \"\"
                      There isn’t a problem with this image. I just didn’t have any powdered sugar…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                      1. Take fancy photos and post on Instagram (#dadstuff). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
                        \n

                        To any single young men out there (I don\u2019t know why you\u2019re reading this as it\u2019s a site for dads\u2026): this is how you get the ladies. I definitely got much more attractive in college when I started watching Food Network and I learned how to cook. I wooed my wife by making muffins and cheesecake, and she\u2019s way out of my league, just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
