Mary’s Challah French Toast
My sister’s 30-minute challah French toast recipe is better than any diner’s. It's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, of course topped with a slab of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup!
Servings: 6 pieces
Ingredients
- 6 thick slices of challah or brioche bread about 1 inch thick slices
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- Toppings of choice butter, maple syrup, berries, powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl or dish, add eggs. Lightly beat.
