Ingredients
- 1 loaf challah bread , sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon powder sugar (optional)
- fresh blueberries (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat.
- In a large baking dish, beat together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Dip bread in egg mixture coating thoroughly, and shaking off any excess before adding to the pan.
- Cook each toast on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes each side.
- To serve, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle a little powder sugar and top with fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
- Use a good non-stick pan or griddle that won't let the bread stick to the pan. I like to use a stove top cast iron non-stick reversible griddle like this one. The griddle will help create the perfect crust on your french toast and give it the right texture.
- Use day old challah bread for the best French toast. It will be drier and soak up more of the custard.
