Nutella Brioche French Toast
You know that feeling when you make eight individual servings of banana Nutella French toast and then you eat six of them yourself over the course of one weekend?
Ya.
It's good.
It's really not even breakfast.
It's more like dessert, but I called it French toast so I'm going with it.
Whatever.
I wanted to eat it for breakfast.
And then every other meal this weekend.
