  • 2 Tablespoons 2% Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 5 Pinches of Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons Mascarpone Cheese
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons Nutella Spread
  • 10 ounces Challah Bread, sliced**
  • 1 teaspoon Butter, divided in half
  • ** Bread sliced in either 4 equal portions of 2.5 ounces per slice with a pocket cut into them OR

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. In a small bowl blend together the mascarpone cheese, Nutella and one (1) pinch of salt.  
  4. Prepare bread slices with Nutella cheese mixture using either of the methods outlined  above by spreading 1 (one) tablespoon of Nutella mixture between each of the four sandwiches.
