Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¾ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or extract
1 loaf challah bread
unsalted butter, or ghee, for greasing
softened butter
pure maple syrup, warmed
flaky sea salt
fresh berry

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
  • Working in batches, dip each slice of challah in the custard, letting soak for 20-60 seconds on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
  • Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked challah on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
  • Serve the French toast with a pat of butter, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of flaky salt, and berries.
  • Enjoy!
