12 slices Egg Bread or 12 slices Texas Toast Bread, at least 1 day old
1 1/2 cups Nutella
2 cups light cream or half and half or whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons hazelnut liqueur

4 large eggs
Preheat the oven to 350°F Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with unsalted butter.
Make 6 sandwiches with the bread and Nutella. Cut each sandwich into 8 small squares. Pile the sandwich pieces into the prepared baking dish..
In a small saucepan, combine the cream, salt, and vanilla and cook over medium heat until warm. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs. Slowly add the cream mixture, stirring constantly to make sure the eggs do not cook. Pour the mixture over the bread and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake on the center rack of the oven till brown and crisp on top, removing the foil after about 20 minutes. The finished pudding will be golden brown on top.
Serve with whipped topping....and drizzle chocolate syrup on top. Enjoy!
