Ingredients

• 1/4 cup 31.25 g flour

• 3 large 3 eggs

• 1 cup 236.59 ml milk

• 2 tbsp. 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp. 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp. 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp. 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 1 loaf of bread (Brioche is best)

• 3 tbsp. 3 tbsp Nutella

• 1/2 cup 74 g blueberries

• 1/2 cup 72 g strawberries

• 1/2 cup 60 g raspberries

• 1 1 banana

• 1 tbsp. 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for garnish)

• Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Directions

• In a large bowl, start with the flour, then slowly add & whisk the milk, then eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar & salt
• Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. While it heats, dip the bread into the milk mixture (about 10 seconds each side) until well absorbed
• Lay the soaked bread slices on the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
• Take a plate, arrange a few pieces of fruit around the edges for garnish.
• Place one slice of French toast in the center. Add banana slices and blueberries on top, then drizzle lightly with syrup.
• Stack a second slice of French toast over the first, topping it with more banana, raspberries, and strawberries. Add another drizzle of syrup.
• Finish with a third slice of French toast on top. Fan out a thinly sliced strawberry, leaving the top in tact (see video for technique) and place it as the centerpiece.
• Warm Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds, then drizzle over the stack
• Add one final drizzle of syrup and dust with powdered sugar to serve.
