Challah French Toast

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mascarpone Filling

    In a bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with lemon zest until well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Challah

    Spread the mascarpone mixture on two slices of challah and top with the remaining slices to create a sandwich.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. 4

    Dip the Challah Sandwiches

    Carefully dip each stuffed challah sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

  5. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook the stuffed challah sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Grilled Peaches

    Slice peaches and grill them in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Eggs

    Cook the additional two eggs to your preferred style (scrambled, poached, or fried).
