Challah French Toast With Cinnamon Sugar Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in a bowl until fluffy, then add milk. Whisk in sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and transfer mixture to a shallow bowl.
• Soak challah slices in the bowl in batches for 3 minutes on each side.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook challah slices in batches until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and continue to brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Add more butter if necessary.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs and egg yolks, vanilla, lemon zest (if using), 1/2 teaspoon cardamom and salt.
• Arrange challah slices in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour custard on top, and let sit at room temperature, uncovered, for 30 minutes, so the bread can absorb the custard, carefully flipping bread slices halfway through.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cinnamon and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cardamom. Set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium, then add 2 tablespoons butter and let it melt. Place 2 to 3 pieces soaked challah in skillet, making sure to not crowd the pan. Cook until golden on bottom, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle a little of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of each slice, then flip and cook until bottom is glazed and browned, another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving plates, glazed-side up. Repeat with remaining butter, challah and cinnamon sugar. Serve warm, with your choice of toppings.

Steps:

• Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place challah in the dish.
• Mix 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon; set aside.
• Mix milk, eggs, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl. Pour over bread and place butter pieces on top. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar over the top. Cover with foil and place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake French toast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
