"Inspired by the French toast served at our favorite local brunch spot, I decided to try this recipe one weekend, and it has since become our go-to weekend breakfast. From lazy Sunday brunches to cooking for overnight guests, it is sure to impress. The slightly sweet challah bread and taste of caramelized sugar and orange liqueur are what set this recipe apart. It’s quick, easy, and pairs perfectly with classic sides such as scrambled eggs, sausage or seasoned pan-fried potatoes. Enjoy!"
Challah Bread French Toast
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 half-inch slices challah bread (I prefer 1 inch slices)
2 tablespoons butter
Pure maple syrup
In shallow mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk, sugar,
vanilla, orange liqueur, cinnamon and nutmeg. Dip bread into egg mixture,
letting it soak about 10 seconds on each side.
In a skillet or on a griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter
over medium heat. Cook each slice 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden
brown. Repeat with remaining butter and bread slices. Serve warm, and with
maple syrup, if desired.
Sounds like another winner!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Challah Bread? I can't find it in our grocery store :( Any substitution suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHi!! - Challah Bread is a sweet bread that is used in the Jewish faith. It's usually found in the fresh bread section of the grocery store. I'd check there if you haven't already but a bakery should have it, too. Hmm a substitute - you might want to try a cinnamon bread or even cinnamon raisin cut in very think slices (at least 1 inch). It won't be identical but the important piece of this recipe is to have a sweet bread underneath. If brioche is available, you can try that too.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps! Thanks so much for reading my blog!!
