Fabulous French Toast

An egg bread makes the best French toast. If you can't find challah, try a brioche loaf.

Courses: Breakfast
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Eggs (large)
1/2 cup 118mlWhole milk or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlPure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons 30mlSugar
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlGround cinnamon
  Salt - to taste
3 teaspoons 15mlUnsalted butter - more if necessary
8   Challah, 1" thick
  = (or brioche or other egg bread)
  Maple syrup and jam - for serving

Recipe Instructions

Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.

Melt a teaspoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Soak 2 slices of bread at a time in the batter for about 1 minute, pressing down on the bread so that it absorbs the batter. Cook in the skillet until golden, about 3 minutes on each side.

Serve immediately with syrup or jam or keep warm, loosely covered with foil, in a 200 degree oven while cooking the remaining slices.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
