Ingredients
- 12 lices challah, sliced 1 inch thick (cut larger slices in half)
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons rum, Kahlua, or Grand Marnier (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- This recipe works best with day-old or slightly stale challah bread. If your bread is fresh, you can take some of the moisture out by placing the slices on a baking sheet and putting them in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, flipping the slices once halfway through cooking. This will dry the bread out a bit, which will help it soak up the moisture from the milk and egg mixture. If you don't have time for this step, no worries-- fresh bread will work too, it just won't soak up as much of the egg mixture.
- In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, flour, banana, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and optional rum or liqueur. Blend for a few seconds until well mixed.
- Pour the liquid mixture into a shallow baking dish or pie plate.
- Soak your slices of challah in the liquid for about 60 seconds, turning once, until the bread is nicely saturated on both sides. This should be done in batches.
- Heat your skillet over medium and grease it with 2 tbsp butter.
- Fry the toast in two batches of 6 slices each.
- Let the slices brown nicely on each side for 3-5 minutes. Keep the heat on medium (or a little lower) to make sure the toast cooks through but doesn't burn.When the first batch of toast is cooked, regrease the pan with remaining 2 tbsp of butter and fry the second batch.
- Plate the French toast and garnish with powdered sugar, using a mesh strainer to lightly and evenly powder the toast with sugar.
Notes
- You will also need: large skillet (nonstick is best), blender, baking sheet (optional)
- Note: If you don't have challah on hand, you can substitute brioche or any fluffy, eggy bread you prefer.
- Serve Challah French Toast hot with your preferred toppings. Some of our favorites include butter, maple syrup, berry topping, caramelized bananas or fresh whipped cream.
