Challah French Toast is a delightful twist on the classic breakfast dish, featuring rich, eggy challah bread soaked in a creamy custard and cooked to golden perfection. Served with fresh fruit and a dusting of powdered sugar, it's a luxurious start to your day.

Ingredients

• Challah bread - 4 slices (about 200g)
• Eggs - 2 large
• Milk - 120ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 15g of butter, allowing it to melt.
3. Dip each slice of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked.
