Challah French Toast

Challah French Toast is a delightful Moroccan-inspired brunch dish that features thick slices of enriched challah bread soaked in a spiced egg mixture, then pan-fried to golden perfection. Served with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon, it's a sweet treat that elevates any breakfast table.

Ingredients

• Challah bread - 4 slices (about 200g)
• Eggs - 2 large
• Milk - 120ml
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Butter - 2 tablespoons
• Powdered sugar - for dusting
• Fresh fruit (optional) - for serving

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
3. Dip each slice of challah into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked but not overly saturated.
4. Place the soaked challah slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed for additional flavor.
6. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey if desired.
