Nutella Tartine
This Nutella Tartine is a popular snack with French school children made with toasted brioche, creamy hazelnut spread and a smear of orange marmalade. Would my family enjoy this exotic twist on the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Nutella Tartine
An Exotic Twist on PB & J
Even though I could have eaten the whole jar of Nutella with a spoon, this didn’t wow me. I now know I prefer my Nutella without marmalade and my marmalade without Nutella. It’s not far off from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, using Nutella instead of pb and marmalade instead of jelly or jam.
Since I have never liked the classic pb & j sandwich, it’s no surprise, I wasn’t a fan. But all those French children can’t be wrong, so give this Nutella tartine a try and let me know what you think!

Nutella Tartine
A gourmet twist on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich using Nutella and orange marmalade!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 4 slices brioche or challah bread
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade (I used Bonne Maman)
- Coarse salt, optional
- Toasted chopped hazelnuts, to garnish
Instructions
Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil, and set aside.
Put Nutella in a microwavable bowl. Heat until softened and warmed, 15-20 seconds.
Brush one side of each slice of bread with melted butter. Put the bread on the baking sheet with the buttered side up. Broil the bread until the tops are lightly toasted, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Spread the orange marmalade over the toasted bread. Drizzle with warm Nutella. Sprinkle lightly with a coarse salt, if desired. Garnish with toasted hazelnuts.

Well, it sounds like you are a purist! I can’t say I blame you…I would probably agree. I hope you had a great start to your week. I spent mine baking and writing…a much needed day of rest. Thank you for sharing yet another delicious post!
LOL! Well, I’m sure you have complete control with keeping marmalade and Nutella separated!!
I have been meaning to tell you lately that I have been keeping up with your posts but Mei has made it nearly impossible to leave you a comment and your past few posts have been really great! I enjoyed reading them all and plan to borrow some recipes from you soon! 🙂 Great job!
This is still my favourite FFWD recipe (or “un recipe) so far!
I’ve seen some Nutella recipes for the past few days but I still enjoy exploring with new Nutella recipes. I buy many jars from Costco (how dangerous!) and I need many recipes… =P Thanks for sharing!
I really liked this but maybe I wouldn’t have if my orange marmalade had worked out. Instead I used raspberry wine jelly and it was good. Seems like several people didn’t care for the chocolate/orange mix.
Lovely pictures! This is the first FFwD recipe that I really didn’t care for. I think I didn’t like the combo of marmalade and Nutella. I should have left the Nutella off. Oh, well. Glad you enjoyed it.
What an interesting idea, not sure if I would want them together either. It looks great though and bet my niece would enjoy 🙂
Woah! They are such amazing treat to the eyes!-Kavi (Edible Entertainment)Ongoing Event:(Kid’s Delight – Something Sweet)
I’m a Nutella fan and I’m also with you on the marmalade. The pictures are great.
LOVE NUTELLA! and that tartine?! Perfect on a weekend brunch 🙂
It looks delicious, but I can understand why you didn’t love it. Orange and chocolate don’t work together well for me either. Make it strawberry or raspberry though and then you’re talking!
Funny, my spouse said he prefers his chocolate and jelly combination in the form of a donut! Since I don’t do chocolate, I also prefer my marmalade seperately.
Haha – your kids were unimpressed with nutella?! 😉
Oh my word! Heavenly!
Oh boy. I want this right now1
Nutella and marmalade are an interesting combination. Marmalade to temper the sweetness while still getting a chocolate hit – I like the idea!
Who doesn’t adore nutella! The tartine looks super.
Have a wonderful weekend!

What a yummy treat, Lizzy! Nutella with your amazing white bread. Can’t think of any other treat that is more mouthwatering, and totally satisfying:DDD
BTW-I have a couple of awards waiting for you to claim!
Congratulations…well deserved, my dear friend:DDD
All of you FFWD participants are killing me today with this nutella goodness!!
Oh. Yes. *Please*.
Dear Lizzy, This is delicious. I have yet to meet someone who does not LOVE Nutella! This is a recipe that is easy and delicious a perfect combo. Blessings my friend, Catherine xo
Though this looks delicious, I guess I’ll enjoy it more without the orange marmalade. Nutella is enough to make me happy! 🙂
Enjoy your weekend, Lizzy!
Oh, I was so hoping the marmalade and the nutella would work. Too bad. 🙁 I had to laugh at the DNA comment. I wonder the same thing sometimes with my own kids (if they hadn’t come from my own body)… I would seriously wonder about them. 🙂 LOL!
Have a great weekend!!
I’m with you on spoon feeding myself Nutella. The other day, I warmed some up and used it like hot fudge on a sundae. Pretty yummy!
That looks very delicious!
What an utterly perfect snack–I often order tartines for a light meal when I’m in Europe. This looks like a lovely sweet treat!
Lizzy, this tart looks perfectly delicious! Lovely photos and a great recipe to go with it. Stay warm this weekend!
Nutella and marmalade sounds ‘special’. I am not a big fan of nutella, maybe marmalade will make it better, though I doubt it. No comments from Bill, I suppose he was unimpressed.
this looks wonderful
So simple, but so good! But then, anything with Nutella is tough to beat 🙂
It’s so blissfully easy – you can have a life! Love the Nutella with oranges. My daughter won’t touch Nutella and my son never wanted it in the house because he couldn’t keep his hands off of it.
Whelp, not every pairing is a match made in heaven 🙂 Certainly looks yummy tho!
Completely mouth watering Liz. Like, totally.
😉
It’s great that you get to try new recipes through this. I can’t see myself eating something like this BUT if you switched out the marmalade with peanut butter, I’d be all set! Still looks pretty! 🙂
I am with you on the Nutella without the marmalade thing. Your presentation looks so tempting – I would love to try it anyways 🙂
Damn you have found the key that makes me study harder for my exams!! 😀
Orange and Nutella plus bread= heaven!
This looks sensational, your presentation 😀 and I live the twist by using orange flavours!!!
As usual fabulous 🙂

I am from Germany and introduced my American-born children to Nutella. So instead of the typical PB & J they eat their peanut butter sandwiches with Nutella. It’s a bit like Reese’s peanut butter cups on bread. They’d eat it every day at every meal if I’d let them. I prefer my Nutella straight on a traditional Vollkornbrot (which I haven’t been able to find in the U.S.)
Chocolate and orange goes so well together. I am sure this tastes heavenly 🙂 They sure look super yummy!
A wonderful sweet! love it!u have a nice space vth lovely recipes……….
Mmm, mmm, I wish I could eat this for breakfast every day!
This looks absolutely amazing!! Love this! 🙂
I know this is a sin but I’m not the hugest fan of Nutella. I love to bake with it though, this sounds like something that I would really enjoy!
Now, who doesn’t like Nutella?? My family is a huge fan of Nutella & this makes a great snack!Auspicious Salmon Yu Sheng
This looks tempting beyond words. I love how you have presented this. It looks so delicious. Stunning pictures!
Looks so easy and yet so delicious!
Could it be you would rather used a different marmalade/fruit spread? It looks wonderful either way!
You crack me up with your ‘delicious for some’ comment! Your photos are lovely and your Nutella Tartine looks wonderfully scrumptious to me!
I vote for Nutella too, those chocolate hazelnut spreads are extremely popular in my country too and we have tones of them 🙂 Sometimes I just mixed them with some whipped cream and make the icing for some cake that way 🙂
And a slice orange has always been my fave decoration, it opens up my appetite whenever I see it!
I adore hazelnut and am willing to forgive its association with chocolate simply because it alters the taste enough to make it palatable. This looks delicious (even to me). 🙂
I am not sure how I feel about marmalade with nutella either – perhaps a case of two great things diminishing one another? I would love it with something with raspberries though, I am sure of it! Looks lovely anyway!
Awww.. Nutella. This sounds delish. Oh, and Im still in awe over those Twice Baked potatoes too! Mmmmm
Did someone say Nutella?! 🙂 Looks delicious!
We paired ours with cherry preserves, because, well, why not 🙂
It’s fun to see everyone’s sweet treats this week!
This is beautiful!!
fancy 🙂
absolutely nice!! Lizzy!
(now someones will really tease me (not you) but I dont have time to post savoy recipes, all my last are sweet (lol) sigh!!
Beautiful! Absolutely right, what a yummy way to start off the day.
Delicious! I love Nutella!
Yummy ! You made the plain bread looks sophisticated 😉
I love the pairing with the slices of oranges. Biting into the slices of oranges and eating the tartine will be something I will enjoy.
This does look delicious. The whole marmalade and Nutella thing I am on the fence about though. While some fruit flavors may be good with Nutella I am not sure marmalade is it.
Your pictures do look amazing! Glad I got your feedback on this recipe.
A brillant sweet treat! love it!
nutella + toastred bread = perfect breakfast!
I love nutella,great recipe idea for my breakfast,I wish I have one slice now for my breakfast 🙂 Sound yummy with my coffee !!
Ridwan
YES PLEASE! I am in love with Nutella!
It may not have been what you were hoping, but it sure does look beautiful!
Ha! I had to nix the marmalade and go with berry jam. And, since I was indulging, I made full Nutella slices as well. The orange slices on the side were genius.
I’m not a Nutella fan, but this toast looks very appetising.
Positively wonderfully evil. =)
