- Large Sauté Pan
- Baking Sheet
- Large Shallow Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1½ cups milk, or your favorite dairy-free milk option
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey or confectioner's sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- 8 slices challah or brioche bread, cut ½ – ¾ inch thick
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
-
Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 250º.
-
Whisk ingredients together
In a large shallow baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, honey, vanilla, and salt.
-
Saturate bread in mixture
Dip 2–3 slices of bread in the egg mixture at a time for 1–2 minutes per side.
-
Heat up skillet while bread sits
In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
-
Place bread into skillet
Add the soaked bread to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
-
Repeat
Repeat with remaining bread slices adding butter and oil as needed, until all the bread is cooked.
-
Serve immediately, or keep warm in oven
Place the cooked French toast on a baking sheet to keep it warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the bread, or if you don't plan on eating it immediately.
Chef's Note:
I suggest serving 2 slices per person with either maple syrup, raspberry preserves, blueberry compote, and/or confectioner's sugar. Sliced bananas or strawberries make a great addition as well! Honey or confectioner's sugar will dissolve better in the cold liquid, but you can substitute plain sugar if you prefer.
