Challah French toast

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)

• 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• 8 slices of challah (about 1-inch thick)

• Butter or oil for frying

• Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

2. Soak the Challah:

   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil.

   • Dip each slice of challah into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 20-30 seconds per side. Ensure it’s fully coated but not falling apart.

3. Cook the French Toast:

   • Place the soaked slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

   • Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

4. Serve:

   • Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
