BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST

Barefoot Contessa's Challah French Toast image

I just watched Barefoot Contessa and she made a romantic breakfast for dinner for her husband. I have posted the other things she made which are recipe #85443, recipe #85449, and recipe #85451. She also made sausage links which I'm sure everyone knows how to cook in a pan ;>
