Ingredients
  

For the Toast Pies
  • 8 slices sandwich bread white or brioche style, soft and fresh
  • 1/2 cup Nutella or other chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted, or cooking spray
For Dusting (Optional)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Round cookie cutter (approx. 3-3.5 inch diameter)
  • Small Bowl
  • Pastry Brush
  • Fork

Method
 

Prepare the Bread
  1. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread slightly until it's about 1/4-inch thick. This makes the bread more pliable and easier to seal.
  2. Using a 3 to 3.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out two circles from each flattened slice of bread. You should have 16 circles in total.
Assemble the Pies
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
  2. Lay 8 of the bread circles on a clean surface. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the center of each circle, leaving a clear border around the edge.
  3. Lightly brush the edges of the Nutella-topped bread circles with the egg wash.
  4. Place the remaining 8 bread circles on top of the Nutella-filled circles, creating a 'sandwich'. Gently press around the edges to seal.
  5. Use a fork to crimp the edges of each toast pie, pressing down firmly to ensure a good seal and prevent Nutella from leaking during cooking.
  6. Lightly brush the tops of the sealed toast pies with the remaining egg wash. This will help them turn golden brown.
Air Fry
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Lightly brush the air fryer basket or rack with melted butter or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Place the toast pies in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
  4. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pies are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model.
  5. Carefully remove the hot toast pies from the air fryer.
Serve
  1. If desired, dust the warm Nutella Toast Pies with powdered sugar before serving.
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey Nutella inside!

Notes

For a square version, you can trim the crusts off the bread slices and fill them, then fold them in half diagonally or keep them square, sealing with a fork. You can also add a small piece of banana or strawberry with the Nutella for a fruity twist. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day; reheat briefly in the air fryer for best results.
