Nutella Stuffed French Toast Cups

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 c. heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
6 c. of thick, cubed bread – about 6-7 slices
Nutella or other hazelnut spread

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a muffin pan with butter or oil spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla and cinnamon.
• Gently fold in the cubed bread, mixing until combined and soaked through. Be careful not to overmix-the bread becomes soft and can deteriorate.
• Immediately spoon half of the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, dividing amongst 9-10 muffin cups.
• Drop a small dollop of Nutella or hazelnut spread, about 1 tsp, into each muffin. Top with the remaining french toast mixture.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are dry and they are cooked throughout.
• Let cool for at least 5 minutes as the cups settle and return to their original size.
• Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
