Challah French Toast

Among many other things you can do with the challah bread recipe I posted yesterday, you can make this immensely decedent challah French toast. (Please note that this recipe isn't vegan, but it's definitely possible to make it so -- just follow these steps -- I have successfully made some amazing vegan French toast in my 26 years on this planet.) But what's interesting about me is that prior to this past Sunday, I had never, ever made "regular" French toast.

Basically: I wanted to give it a try. With eggs.

What you'll need . . . (to make four heaping helpings)

• Challah bread (recipe here)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk or soy milk
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or Earth Balance

Method . . .

1. Slice challah into eight thick pieces. Set aside. Save the rest for other delicious creations (stay tuned for super easy grilled peanut butter and honey sandwich recipe).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Pour into a shallow container.
3. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, drop a teaspoon or so amount of butter and heat until it sizzles.
4. Place three or four slices of challah bread in the egg mixture and let sit for about 1 minute. Then flip over a repeat on the other side.
5. Transfer gooey bread slices to pan and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned & cooked through.
6. Repeat with remaining slices. You may need to add more butter to the pan between batches.
7. Top with maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, and walnuts. Or anything, really.
