Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray with a wire rack and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl add the eggs, cream, vanilla and orange extract, cinnamon and salt. Whisk together or use an immersion blender to process until smooth.
- Pour half of the custard mixture in a 9x13" pan. Arrange as many pieces of challah bread you can in a single layer and pour remaining custard over. Soak for 2 minutes and flip bread. Soak another 2 minutes and place on wire rack tray. Repeat with remaining bread if any.
- Working in batches, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Add 4 pieces of soaked challah and brown for 3-4 minutes. Flip and brown the other side. Remove from skillet, place on wire rack tray and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining butter and soaked challah.
- Serve warm with butter, maple syrup and fresh mixed berries and whipped cream (optional).
Notes
- Either use 8 large slices of day-old challah bread (1-inch thick), or toast the challah in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes or toaster to assist in drying to better absorb custard. Cut in half if large before soaking (as pictured).
- You can also use Half and Half or whole milk.
- You can substitute 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest.
