Challah French Toast

Servings: 4-6 servings

Challah is a yeast bread that contains flour, eggs and a little sugar. The texture is similar to French brioche which makes it a lovely option for French toast. It is light enough that you can cut thick slices and not feel like you just swallowed a brick but keep in mind that the thicker the slice, the longer you should soak it in the egg-milk mixture to saturate the middle.

Ingredients

For French Toast

1 loaf challah bread
2 eggs
½ cup milk
2 tbsp Sugarmaker’s Cut pure maple syrup
butter

For Topping

any Runamok maple syrup of your choosing
fresh fruit, optional

Instructions

1 Mix the eggs, milk, and Sugarmaker’s Cut Pure Maple Syrup in a bowl wide enough to put a slice of bread.
2 Slice the challah into 1” - 2” slices.
3 Dunk your slices into the egg mixture allowing more time to soak if they are very thick.
4 Put a spoonful of butter into a pan and heat on medium-high. Put the soaked pieces of bread into the pan and cook for three to five minutes until lightly brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
5 Remove to a plate and serve with fresh fruit, extra butter, and Runamok Maple syrup of your choice.
