Challah French Toast

Lots of RiverSong Farm customers tell me our Challah makes excellent French toast. I've never had the opportunity to try it until yesterday. Here is the recipe we used:

1 loaf of RiverSong Farm Challah, sliced on the bias (diagonally) into 10 slices
4 eggs
1 cup of milk
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
Cinnamon

Place the slices of bread on a cookie sheet in the oven and toast both sides till crispy but not brown.

In a mixing bowl beat the eggs, add the remaining ingredients and beat. Pour the mixture into a small deep dish. Place the slices into the dish and let soak 15 seconds per side. Then transfer to a buttered medium hot skillet and cook till browned, then flip. As I explained to my kitchen accomplice, French toast like pancakes needs to cook on one side for a long time and the other side for a short time. Alter the heat as needed to prevent burning. As you remove pieces, add more butter and soaked pieces. Place the finished toast back on the cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven till all the pieces are finished.

Enjoy with RiverSong Farm maple syrup or powdered sugar and fresh fruit.
