• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup whole milk
• Pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 8 (1/2-inch) thick slices brioche or challah bread
• 8 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread, divided
• Grade B maple syrup or powdered sugar, for serving

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and salt.
2. Working in batches, melt some of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderately-high heat.
3. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and quickly transfer to the skillet.
4. Cook 2 slices of the bread until golden brown, and then flip over and cook until golden brown on the other side.
5. Spread 2 tablespoons of the chocolate hazelnut spread on 1 piece of the bread, and place the other piece of cooked bread on top to enclose the chocolate hazelnut spread.
6. Gently press down with a spatula so the pieces stick together.
7. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
8. Serve with grade B maple syrup or powered sugar.
