S’mores French Toast Recipe

Introduction

S’mores French Toast is a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, combining the gooey sweetness of marshmallows and Nutella with golden, buttery bread. This indulgent recipe brings a campfire treat right to your breakfast table, perfect for a cozy weekend morning.

A white plate holds a thick, two-layered toasted sandwich with golden brown, slightly crispy edges. Between the layers is a gooey white marshmallow filling that oozes out in some spots. On top, a thick dark chocolate sauce is drizzled heavily, flowing down the sides and mixing with the marshmallow. Three white marshmallows sit on the top, each topped with a bit of the same chocolate sauce. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and a blurred white teacup is seen in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 4 slices white sandwich bread (preferably stale)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 16 marshmallows, halved horizontally
  • Nutella
  • Chocolate sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine the egg and milk in a shallow dish large enough to fit a slice of bread.
  2. Step 2: Spread Nutella generously on all four slices of bread.
  3. Step 3: Place marshmallow halves on two slices of bread, with the cut side facing up.
  4. Step 4: Heat butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Step 5: Take the marshmallow-topped slices and quickly dip the bottom side (the side without Nutella or marshmallows) into the egg mixture. Place these slices, dipped side down, in the heated pan.
  6. Step 6: Dip the remaining two slices of bread (the side without Nutella) into the egg mixture. Place them on top of the marshmallow slices in the pan, forming a sandwich with the Nutella sides facing the marshmallows and the dipped sides facing outward.
  7. Step 7: Press down lightly with a spatula to help heat and melt the marshmallows inside, being careful not to press too hard to avoid marshmallows oozing out.
  8. Step 8: Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2½ to 3 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden, about 2 minutes.
  9. Step 9: If marshmallows aren’t oozing out, don’t worry—they will continue to melt inside. They should be soft and gooey when touched.
  10. Step 10: Serve immediately, topped with extra marshmallows and chocolate sauce if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Use slightly stale bread to better absorb the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
  • For extra richness, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey to the Nutella before assembling.
  • Swap Nutella for peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist.
  • Serve with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas to balance the sweetness.

Storage

Because this French toast is best enjoyed fresh and gooey, it is not recommended to store leftovers. If needed, keep any uneaten portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to avoid burning or in a toaster oven for a few minutes, but marshmallows may lose their texture.

How to Serve

A stack of three thick toasted bread slices with a golden brown crust forms the base and middle layers, with gooey white marshmallow cream oozing out between the bottom and middle slices. The top slice is covered in smooth, dark chocolate sauce that drips over the edges and down the marshmallow cream. Three white marshmallows sit on top, each topped with a drizzle of the same dark chocolate sauce. The dish is placed on a white plate with a white marbled surface underneath. In the background, a white cup with tea or coffee is slightly blurred. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat or other types of bread?

Yes, whole wheat or other bread types can be used, but a denser bread might not absorb the egg mixture as well and could alter the texture slightly. Adjust cooking time as needed.

What can I use if I don’t have Nutella?

You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate spread, peanut butter, or hazelnut butter. Alternatively, melted chocolate can be drizzled inside before assembling the sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Egg Mixture

  • 4 slices white sandwich bread, preferably stale
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp butter

Filling and Toppings

  • Nutella, generously spread on each slice
  • 16 marshmallows, halved horizontally
  • Additional marshmallows for topping (optional)
  • Chocolate sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish large enough to lay the bread slices flat, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
  2. Spread Nutella: Generously spread Nutella on one side of all 4 slices of bread.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Place the halved marshmallows, cut side up, on two of the Nutella-covered bread slices.
  4. Heat Butter: Heat the butter in a pan over medium-high heat until melted and foamy.
  5. Dip Bottom Bread Sides: Quickly dip the bottom side (the side without Nutella or marshmallows) of the marshmallow-topped bread slices into the egg mixture, then place those slices into the hot pan.
  6. Form Sandwiches: Dip the remaining two slices of bread (the side without Nutella) into the egg mixture, then place them Nutella-side down onto the marshmallow bread slices in the pan, forming sandwiches with the Nutella sides facing the marshmallows and the dipped side facing up.
  7. Press Lightly: Using a spatula, gently press down on the sandwiches to help heat disperse and melt the marshmallows inside. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent marshmallows from spilling out.
  8. Cook First Side: Cook the sandwiches until the bottom side is golden brown, approximately 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
  9. Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
  10. Check Marshmallow Softness: The marshmallows inside should be melted and gooey. Even if not oozing out, they will be soft and melty.
  11. Serve: Serve immediately, optionally topped with extra marshmallows and drizzled with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Using stale bread helps it absorb the egg mixture better without falling apart.
  • Do not press too hard with the spatula to avoid marshmallows leaking out.
  • If marshmallows are not melted fully, the residual heat in the sandwich will continue to soften them after cooking.
  • You can customize with other spreads like peanut butter or add fruits for variation.
