Choosing the right bread is essential. Soft, pliable bread works best, as it’s easier to roll and seal. Start by trimming off the crusts to create a clean square base. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice, making it more pliable and perfect for holding the filling.

Spread a generous layer of Nutella onto one side of the bread. Keep the filling in the center and avoid spreading too close to the edges, as this will make sealing difficult.

Once the Nutella is spread, it's time to seal the toast pies. Place another flattened slice of bread on top, sandwiching the filling between the two layers. Use the prongs of a fork to press down firmly along the edges, creating a crimped seal. This step prevents the Nutella from oozing out during cooking.

Want to get creative? Try using a sandwich cutter or pie press to make fun shapes like hearts, circles, or stars. These are perfect for kids' snacks or themed parties.

There are three main ways to cook Nutella Toast Pies, and each method has its unique benefits:

Adjust the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the sealed toast pies in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove and let cool slightly before serving

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Coat the toast pies lightly with butter and place them carefully into the air fryer basket.

Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Brush the toast pies with melted butter or egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until they’re perfectly crisp
