Valentine Special Heart French Toast!

Strawberry-Nutella-Stacked-French-Toast

Method:

- 3 heart shaped pieces of bread
- your favorite french toast batter (for this recipe; used 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
- 3 large sliced organic strawberries
- 2 pads of salted butter
- 2 tbs of Cheese
- 2 tbs of Nutella

Once you get your bread cut up into hearts and your french toast batter whisked, heat your skillet to medium high and melt some butter.
Then lightly submerge your Bread for a hot sec into the batter. After you dredge each piece, carefully place on your skillet without getting too much drip-age everywhere.
Once the hearts become nice and beautiful on each side, take them off your skillet and let them cool for a few minutes. You don’t want to melt the Cheese too soon.
Once they are the perfect temperature (i prefer room-temp) gently spread on your Cheese.
Lay on some of those strawberries and spread on half the nutella onto one heart
Stack it on top, nutella side down and then smear some MORE nutella on the other side.
Add some more berries!
For the almost last step, smear on some more Cheese!
Then place the last heart, mascarpone side down, on top of your beautiful pile of sweetness
And now if you want to make this treat extra special, some whipped on top and dust with some cinnamon.

Surprise your Valentine!!! Enjoy!!!

Happy Valentine Day!
