75 ml whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp chopped roasted hazelnuts
1 tbsp butter
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation steps

Spread two of the brioche slices thickly with the chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Whisk together egg, milk, vanilla and powdered sugar in a wide, shallow bowl.
Place the hazelnuts on a plate.
Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture and let them rest for 1-2 minutes on each side to allow the brioche to absorb the liquid.

The Health Benefits of Sweetheart Choc & Hazelnut Sandwiches

Sweetheart Choc & Hazelnut Sandwiches are not only a treat for the taste buds but also offer several health benefits. Treat yourself to this delicious treat without feeling guilty, knowing that it contains ingredients that can positively contribute to your well-being.

Brioche loaf

The base of these sandwiches is a small sliced loaf of brioche. Brioche is a rich, buttery bread made from eggs and milk. This gives the sandwiches a soft and fluffy texture. The eggs and milk in the brioche provide important nutrients such as protein, calcium and vitamins.

Chocolate hazelnut spread

The main flavor component of the Sweetheart Choc & Hazelnut Sandwiches is the chocolate hazelnut spread. Although this ingredient is undoubtedly delicious, it also offers some health benefits. Hazelnuts are a great source of healthy fats, vitamin E and minerals like magnesium and potassium. Additionally, dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and can improve heart health.

Egg, milk and vanilla extract

The mixture of egg, milk and vanilla extract used to soak the bread before baking moisturizes and improves the overall flavor of the sandwiches. Eggs are full of protein and vitamins, while whole milk provides calcium for strong bones. Vanilla extract, obtained from the vanilla pod, is known for its antioxidant properties.

Butter and powdered sugar

Although the butter and powdered sugar ingredients in this recipe aren’t particularly nutritious, they add a delicious richness and sweetness to the sandwiches. Moderation in the consumption of these ingredients is crucial for a balanced diet.

Ice cream and raspberries

The serving suggestion with ice cream and raspberries rounds off the Sweetheart Choc & Hazelnut Sandwiches deliciously. Raspberries are full of antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. Although ice cream may not be the healthiest choice, enjoying ice cream occasionally as a treat can bring happiness and satisfaction.

To sum up, Sweetheart Choc & Hazelnut Sandwiches are not only a heavenly treat but also offer some health benefits.
