Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Challah bread
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh berries
Instructions
Begin by preheating a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a large shallow bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until well combined.
Soak each slice of challah bread in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow each slice to sit in the mixture for about 15-30 seconds.
Add the unsalted butter to the preheated skillet, swirling the pan as it melts to coat the bottom evenly.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate. If necessary, you can keep cooked slices warm in an oven preheated to 200°F (93°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
Serve the French toast warm, and garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a handful of fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your delicious low sodium challah French toast with additional maple syrup if desired.
