  5. 05

    Step 5: Serve Immediately — Dust with a little powdered sugar if you like, and serve the toast fingers warm for the best taste and texture.

— Chef's Notes —
  • Use slightly thick bread slices so they hold up well when cut into fingers.
  • Spread the Nutella while the toast is warm for a smoother, easier spread.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola over the Nutella before cutting.
  • Pack these toast fingers in a lunchbox for a quick on-the-go breakfast.
  • Try brioche or croissant bread for an extra indulgent version.
  • Conclusion: Nutella toast fingers are a simple, quick, and delicious breakfast option that's perfect for busy work mornings or a fun start to the day. With just a couple of ingredients and 5 minutes of your time, you get a treat that's both easy to make and easy to enjoy on the go.
