Most of the recipes on my blog are pretty sensible meals. But occasionally I have a brain implosion and I can’t help experimenting with some outrageously indulgent creations. This is one such creation! For breakfast or dessert, this is dangerously easy to make. It’s simply a a sandwich with Nutella and marshmallows, dipped in ordinary french toast egg mixture then pan fried until golden. Toppings are optional….ok, not really. You must!
I have a secret obsession with S’mores. Strange for an Aussie-Japanese who has never lived in the US. I was only introduced to S’mores last year, but ever since then, I’ve always had a stash of marshmallows in my pantry so I can get a S’mores fix in various forms whenever I get the urge – without a campfire. Typically, I just sandwich marshmallows between graham crackers with a piece of chocolate, wrap with foil and heat in the oven until the marshmallow and chocolate are melted. I have also been known to do this in the microwave. I’ve also experimented with S’mores Spring Rolls (didn’t work so great), S’mores Triangles (also a flop) and S’mores Burritos (not bad! Might share this another time), to name a few.
This is the most extreme S’mores fix in my rotation. I wish I could tell you it was secretly healthy or tell you it’s actually a power food, but sadly no. It’s just pure indulgence and there’s nothing healthy about it at all. But it is oh-so-enjoyable. It is so worth the calorie credits to consume a mouthful of this pile of S’mores heaven.
This is deceptively and dangerously easy to make. You simply smear Nutella on bread (generously), then sandwich it with halved marshmallows, dip in egg/milk mixture and cook it like normal french toast. Then because you’ve already blown your calorie credits you may as well go all out and top it with your favourite chocolate sauce and more marshmallows.
You’ve worked hard this week, go on, you deserve a treat this weekend!

S'mores French Toast
Ingredients
- 4 slices white sandwich bread , preferably stale
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- 16 marshmallows , halved horizontally
- Nutella
Toppings (optional)
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish large enough to lay the bread in.
- Spread Nutella on all 4 slices of bread. Generously!
- Place marshmallows on 2 of the pieces of bread, with the sticky side of the marshmallows (ie. the cut side) facing up.
- Heat butter in pan over medium high heat. (See notes)
- Take the bread with the marshmallows on them and quickly dip the bottom side of the bread (ie. the side without the Nutella and marshmallows on it) into the egg mixture, then place into the pan.
- Dip the remaining two slices of bread into the egg mixture (the side without Nutella on it) and place on top of the marshmallow topped bread in the pan, to form a sandwich (ie. The side with the Nutella on it should be placed onto the marshmallows and the side you dipped into the egg mixture should face up so when you flip, it will be cooked).
- Press down lightly with a spatula to help disperse the heat through to the centre of the sandwich to melt the marshmallows. Don't press too hard - I made that mistake once and most of my marshmallows oozed out the side into the pan.
- When the bottom is golden brown (about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook the other side until golden brown (about 2 minutes).
- Don't worry if the marshmallows aren't oozing out the side when you finish cooking, they will continue to melt from the heat in the sandwich. But they should be very soft - just touch one and you'll be able to tell if it's melted and gooey inside.
- Serve immediately, topped with extra marshmallows and chocolate sauce, if you wish.
Recipe Notes:
Quick question, looks great but how are you meant to eat it? It’s huge! Forks and knives?
The only thing I changed read to today the marshmallows in the oven a bit to give them a bit of that Golden crunch they would get from a campfire. My kids loved the special birthday treat Yummy!
Nagi you are going to give me diabetes! Tastes great though 😋
Just served this to my two teenage daughters (I reluctantly abstained!). “So yummy!’’ said one through sugar coma haze. “Delicious” voted by the other. 4.5 Stars.
it tastes,well i haven’t tried it.
what a nice recipe???
YES IT IS!!! 😇
Nagi, this just looks decadent! My husband’s eyes would pop out of his head if this was on his breakfast table.
It is insanely indulgent!!!! 🙂
I also came from a country where S’mores isn’t that recognized, but I am totally obsessed with it! It used to be my best friend and I’s favorite sleep-over snack. Since she’s sleeping over again tonight, I guess I know what our breakfast for tomorrow would be! 😉
DO IT!! Dessert for breakfast!! 🙂
My kids who love Smores will love this toast! It’ll be fun to put this together as a cooking project as they constantly ask me what they can do (summer break…). 😉
I’m sure they will love it! It’s a great one for kids! 🙂
Haha, I love your comment about toppings being optional, but not really. But, why would you want to skip them? Go big or go home–that’s my motto with indulgent dessert. Anyway, this looks phenomenal! Love it!
Thanks for dropping my Michelle! I totally agree – I’d rather have half a fully loaded dessert than a full serving of a skinny one!!
