Special breakfasts are rare in the house. On weekdays we eat a very quick bowl of cereal, and are out the door, with little clean up. On Sundays, when many people have brunch, we are shuttling kids back and forth from religious school. This past Sunday was the last day of February vacation which meant no religious school. Usually I make lemon scones or chocolate chip pancakes, but I decided to try something new to the kids - Mommy's Homemade French Toast made using Mommy's Homemade Challah!
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 t. sugar
1/4 t salt
1 one pound challah, cut into 12 (1/2 inch thick) - do not use the ends
1/2 t double vanilla
Butter
Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla. Arrange challah in one layer on a baking pan. Pour egg-milk mixture into large baking pan, and soak the bread slices for four minutes per side.
Heat large griddle, and melt 1 T butter on the griddle over medium heat. Transfer as many slices of the challah onto the griddle and cook until golden brown (about a minute or two). Flip and cook again for about another minute. Remove and put on serving platter. Cook the remaining challah, while you eat the first batch. Serve with Vermont maple syrup.
