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
- 0 (for serving) maple syrup
- 0 (optional, for dusting) powdered sugar
- 0 (optional, for garnishing) fresh berries
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Repeat the cooking process with additional slices, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.
Step 7
Once cooked, serve the French toast hot, drizzled with maple syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious Challah French Toast with your favorite breakfast accompaniments.
