Nutella French toast roll-ups

Nutella is sweet and chocolaty, but it becomes even better when rolled up and lightly pan-fried. Say hello to your new favorite breakfast.

If there is one thing I love, it's French toast. I love it smothered with berries, covered in powdered sugar and drizzled with syrup. However, this French toast recipe is just a little different. I used soft squishy white bread and then filled it with sweet and nutty Nutella. Trust me, if you like your breakfast a little sweet, you're going to love this recipe.
