For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the egg mixture. Day-old challah works best, as it soaks up the egg mixture more readily without becoming soggy. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches to ensure even browning. Keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven (200°F) until ready to serve.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and airy. (1 minute)
02
StepAdd the milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish such as a pie plate or baking dish. (2 minutes)
03
StepWorking in batches to avoid overcrowding, gently soak each challah slice in the egg mixture for 3 minutes per side, ensuring it's fully saturated. (6 minutes per batch)
04
StepMelt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. (2 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place the soaked challah slices into the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking. (5 minutes per batch)
06
StepServe immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
