Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf challah bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- (for serving) maple syrup
- (optional, for dusting) powdered sugar
- (optional, for garnishing) fresh berries
Instructions
Slice the challah loaf into 1-inch thick slices. Ideally, allow the bread to become slightly stale by leaving it uncovered overnight or lightly toasting it in an oven set to a low temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
Dip each slice of challah into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before placing slices onto the heated skillet.
Cook each slice for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Repeat the cooking process with additional slices, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.
Once cooked, serve the French toast hot, drizzled with maple syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries.
Enjoy your delicious Challah French Toast with your favorite breakfast accompaniments.
