Recipe Introduction


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




List of Ingredients




4 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt, to taste
3 teaspoons unsalted butter (more, if necessary)
8 slices challah, brioche or other egg bread, cut 1-inch thick
Maple syrup and jam, for serving



Recipe



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

2. 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°F oven while cooking the remaining slices.
