Chocolate Challah French Toast
French toast just got elevated by using chocolate challah bread. This Chocolate Challah French Toast is great for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!
Servings: 6 (2 slices each)
Ingredients
- 1 loaf chocolate challah (12 slices) - day old
- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- maple syrup, powdered sugar, and/or fresh fruit , for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer to a shallow casserole dish or pie plate.
- Slice the challah loaf into 3/4-inch thick slices. Soak as many slices you can fit in the custard as possible for about 4 minutes, flipping once. (Repeat with the remaining bread slices while the first batch is frying.)
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a very large sauté pan over medium heat until bubbly. Remove the bread slices from custard, letting excess liquid drip off, and place in the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
- Place the cooked French toast on a sheet pan and keep it warm in the oven.
- Fry the remaining soaked bread slices, adding butter as needed, until it's all cooked.
- Serve with warmed syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit.
