Main Ingredients

For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Slice the Challah

    Cut the challah bread into thick slices, about 1 inch each, to ensure they soak up the egg mixture well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling.

  2. 4

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked.

  3. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked challah slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed while cooking.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates and top with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, to taste.
