french toast made with Challah
i had a small piece of Challah, so i decided to treat myself this weekend to breakfast in bed. It was cold and snowy, so i indulged myself in this simple pleasure.
i used a small piece of Challah bread i had left over.Challah is an egg enriched bread similar to brioche. It makes the best french toast ...i promise you wont be disappointed.
french toast
***
a few slices of Challah
2 eggs beaten
1/2 c milk or half and half
a splash of vanilla
a teaspoon of grated orange zest this is optional but i personally love the favor it gives
Melt some butter in a pan. I use butter because it gives the french toast a richer flavor. Why not you're worth it, right! Add milk to beaten eggs with vanilla and orange zest. Then dip challah into egg mixture and cook in pan with melted butter.
Cook until golden brown. I put whip cream on mind and sprinkle with more orange zest.
It will bring you much joy ..... especially when served in bed.
bon appetit
