Nutella Strawberry Banana Toast
Indulge in a delightful breakfast or brunch treat with this Nutella Strawberry Banana Toast recipe. Creamy Nutella, fresh strawberries, and sweet bananas combine on toasted bread for a simple yet satisfying dish that's perfect for starting your day or enjoying a leisurely weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 Bread slices (preferably brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 4-5 Fresh strawberries
- 1/2 Banana
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, or walnuts)
- 1/2 teaspoon Optional: Powdered sugar
Toast the Bread
Begin by toasting the bread slices to your desired level of doneness. A light golden brown is usually ideal, providing a crispy base for the toppings. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or even a skillet over medium heat.
Spread the Nutella
Once the bread is toasted, generously spread Nutella evenly over each slice. Make sure to cover the entire surface for maximum Nutella flavor. Adjust the amount of Nutella according to your preference.
Prepare the Fruit
Wash the strawberries and slice them thinly. Peel the banana and slice it into rounds. The thinner the slices, the easier they are to eat on the toast.
Assemble the Toast
Arrange the strawberry slices and banana rounds on top of the Nutella-covered toast. Get creative with the arrangement to make it visually appealing. Ensure that the fruit is evenly distributed across the toast.
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the fruit for added crunch and flavor. Hazelnuts complement Nutella particularly well. A dusting of powdered sugar will add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Serve Immediately
Serve the Nutella Strawberry Banana Toast immediately to enjoy the freshness of the fruit and the warm, toasted bread. It's best enjoyed while the toast is still slightly warm and crispy.
