Our Favorite Weekend French Toast
A favorite recipe of my family, it's a perfect way to start the day with something rich and delicious.
Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Sheet Pan
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Salted Butter
- 2 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
- ½ Tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ Cup Milk
- ¼ Cup Heavy Cream
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 T Vanilla Extract
- 12 Slices Challah Sliced ¾ inch thick
Instructions
- Place a baking sheet with a cooling rack on top of it into the oven.
- Preheat oven to 200°F
- In a large frying pan, melt the stick of butter over low heat.
- While the butter is melting, add all ingredients except for the challah and the butter into the canister of a blender.
- When the butter has melted, add it to the blender as well.
- Return the pan to the stove and turn the heat up to medium.
- Close the blender, and blender on medium speed until well combined. About 30 seconds.
- Empty the contents of the blender into a high sided shallow dish
- Coat each side of the Challah with the blended mixture, one at a time. And immediately place into the frying pan. Add as many coated slices to the pan as you can, without crowding. In my 12in skillet, that means I can put in two at a time.
- Cook each side until golden brown. About 3-5 minutes per side.
- As each slice is cooked, remove from the frying pan and add it to the cooling rack inside the oven to keep it warm.
- Continue coating the remaining slices in the mixture and cooking them until you run out of bread. Adding to the oven to keep warm.
- Remove from the oven, and serve with your favorite toppings.
