Ingredients
- 1 loaf gluten-free challah bread
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- to taste maple syrup

Instructions
Slice the gluten-free challah loaf into 1-inch thick slices and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip each slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, but do not soak.
Place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Transfer cooked French toast slices to a serving platter.
Continue the process until all slices are cooked, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the French toast warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit on the side.
