Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Egg Mixture
- 4 slices white sandwich bread, preferably stale
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp butter
Fillings & Toppings
- Nutella, generously spread
- 16 marshmallows, halved horizontally
- Additional marshmallows for topping (optional)
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish large enough to lay the bread flat, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
- Spread Nutella: Generously spread Nutella on all four slices of bread, covering each slice fully with a thick layer.
- Add Marshmallows to Bread: Place the marshmallow halves on two of the Nutella-covered slices, with the sticky, cut side facing up.
- Heat Butter: In a pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and allow it to heat up, preparing for cooking the sandwiches.
- Dip & Place Bottom Slice: Take the marshmallow-topped slices and quickly dip the bottom side (the side without Nutella or marshmallows) into the egg mixture, then carefully place them into the heated pan.
- Dip & Add Top Slices: Dip the remaining two slices of bread into the egg mixture on the side without Nutella, then place each slice Nutella-side down atop the marshmallow-topped bread in the pan, forming a sandwich with the Nutella sides facing inward and the dipped sides facing out.
- Press Sandwich Gently: Using a spatula, press down lightly on the sandwiches to help heat penetrate through to the marshmallows, ensuring they melt without oozing out. Avoid pressing too hard to keep the filling intact.
- Cook One Side: Cook the sandwiches for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for about 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Check Marshmallow Softness: The marshmallows inside should be very soft and gooey; if they aren’t oozing out, they will continue melting from the residual heat.
- Serve Immediately: Serve hot, optionally topped with extra marshmallows and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Notes
- Using stale bread helps the bread hold the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
- Press sandwiches gently while cooking to prevent marshmallows from leaking out.
- If you don’t have Nutella, any chocolate-hazelnut spread can be used or melted chocolate spread.
- For best results, cook on medium-high heat to get a golden crust without burning.
- Serve immediately as the marshmallows are best enjoyed warm and gooey.
