Nutella Toast Pies Recipe

Print Recipe

Nutella Toast Pies transform simple bread into golden crispy hand pies filled with warm gooey Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread. 4-ingredient air fryer or oven treat perfect for quick breakfasts, afternoon snacks, or indulgent desserts kids and adults love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices soft white bread or brioche (crusts removed)
  • 6 tbsp Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter (for pan)

Instructions

  • 1. Remove crusts from bread slices. Use rolling pin or back of spoon to flatten each slice slightly, creating a slight depression in center while keeping ½-inch border.
  • 2. Spread 1 tbsp Nutella in center of each slice, leaving border clean to prevent leakage. Fold bread in half over filling, pressing edges firmly together.
  • 3. Whisk egg and milk together for egg wash. Brush edges generously with egg wash, then crimp with fork tines to seal completely.
  • 4. Brush tops with remaining egg wash. For air fryer: Spray basket, cook at 350°F for 4-5 minutes until golden. For oven: Place on parchment-lined tray, 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
  • 5. Cool 2 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm for perfect gooey center.

Notes

  • Use soft fresh bread stale bread cracks when folding.
  • Don’t overfill; 1 tbsp prevents bursting during cooking.
  • Egg wash creates golden crispy crust; don’t skip this step.
  • Air fryer gives superior crispiness; oven works well too.
  • Freeze assembled (uncooked) pies up to 1 month; air fry from frozen +1-2 minutes.
