Summer Challah French Toast Recipe
I love the taste of challah. It's soft, light, eggy, and a tiny bit sweet. For those who don't know, challah is a traditional egg bread eaten by many cultures, but especially by Jews at the sabbath. It's perfect for sweet French toast.

Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 6 slices of challah 1/2 inch slices
- ½ stick of butter
Instructions
- Add the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined, then stir in the milk. Transfer the liquid to a flat pan (a square cake pan works well).
- Put the bread in and let it soak for 30 seconds a side, then let it rest on a rack for at least 2 minutes.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat, and add about a tablespoon of butter. Cook until browned then flip and cook the other side. Add new butter between batches.
- I dusted my French toast with powdered sugar. Then, since I'm not a big syrup person, but I am a big chocolate person, I drizzled Nutella on top, and I added fresh farmer's market strawberries.
Notes
Slightly stale bread is best so it doesn't fall apart when soaked in the egg mixture.
