Description
Rich and soft challah bread slices dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg custard, then fried to golden perfection, creating a custardy and delicious French toast breakfast.
Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 6 slices challah bread
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
- Soak the challah slices: Dip each slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated and the bread absorbs some of the custard.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the soaked challah slices onto the hot pan and fry until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve warm: Remove from the pan and serve the French toast immediately while still warm, optionally with syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- For extra richness, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Allow the challah slices to soak a bit longer for a more custardy texture.
- Use medium heat to ensure the toast cooks through without burning.
- Try topping with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added flavor.
