Powdered sugar for dusting

2.  Spread Nutella on 4 slices of bread and top with the other 4 slices of bread.

3.  Heat a skillet and melt a small amount of butter.

4.  Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture (let it sit for 5-10 seconds on each side to let it soak up a little bit).

French toast is something that brings back good memories for me.  My mom used to make French toast for breakfast when I was little.  In elementary school we always had frozen French toast sticks in the freezer for after school snacks.  And a friend of mine makes an amazingly delicious baked French toast that she served at our annual murder mystery weekends.  (French toast even inspired my biggest cooking fail ever: scrambled eggs with cinnamon in the microwave when I was 14.)  

I have never attempted to make any of these for my husband for my husband because he HATES cinnamon and how do you make French toast with out it?  Today I was really in the mood for French toast and decided to give this idea a try.  It was a HUGE hit!  It was easy, fast, and super tasty.  I will be making this again very soon!
