Cinnamon Swirl Raisin French Toast with Nutella

Moist, sweet and best tasting, this Cinnamon Swirl Raisin French Toast with Nutella is a scrumptious treat! I don’t know whether to call it breakfast or a dessert.
Cinnamon swirl raisin bread turns into an amazing breakfast in a snap! I used a loaf of my favorite bread, dipped into an egg and milk wash and grilled until golden brown. Then topped with a drizzle of Nutella and powered sugar, and served with fresh Strawberries on the side. Heck!
This was the best french toast we’ve ever had. Best tasting and savory, we really should call this french toast with Nutella a dessert rather than breakfast.
Every weekend, my husband loves a big breakfast. And it’s the usual eggs, toast, bacon or sometimes pancakes or waffles, and the rest of us, me, myself and I – rather gulp down a green smoothie. Don’t laugh.
Well, this time he was craving french toast. And since I haven’t made it in a while, I thought to make this french toast using my favorite bread, cinnamon swirl raisin bread.
I just so happened to have a loaf in the house, which I found in our freezer. I did not make this one, I purchased it at a local bakery.
If I don’t have any homemade? No problem! You can buy cinnamon raisin bread from any local bakery or supermarket and have them slice the bread into one-inch thick slices. The thicker the slice the better the french toast will turn out, keeping the center moist.
The nutella adds the perfect of amount of a nutty-chocolaty flavor to the cinnamon and raisin bread. With fresh strawberries on top or on the side, this easy french toast turns our amazing! The flavors are truly unbelievable! For me, it’s the best French Toast that’s effortless!

How have I not topped French toast with Nutella. I've been missing out, it looks scrumptious.
