When I want to make something extra special for breakfast, this stuffed French toast is what I make. Decadent and delicious, this recipe is best when made with day-old challah. If you don't have challah, use a day-old soft Italian bread. If you can't find Nutella in your supermarket, make your own chocolate hazelnut spread. It's easy!
