Ingredients

  • 1 loaf challah bread
  • 24 ounces vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
  • Maple syrup
  • Confectioners' sugar
  • Sprinkles
  • Whipped topping
  • Berries

Directions

  1. Place the ice cream in a large rectangular microwave-safe dish and microwave on low power for 60 seconds. Stir and repeat until the ice cream has liquefied. Stir half of the cinnamon into the melted ice cream. Set the dish aside.
  2. Slice the challah bread into 1/2-inch slices. Set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over low-medium heat. One by one, dunk the slices of bread into the ice cream, making sure they are fully coated. Then transfer the bread to the skillet.
  4. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side. (When the cream of the ice cream starts to evaporate, this should be about the time to flip.) Repeat with the remaining bread.
  5. Let the french toast cool on a rack for 2 to 3 minutes to keep the crust from getting soggy. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon and serve with any of the optional toppings.

Tyler Smith’s Smash Burgers https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/tyler-smith-smash-burgers/ Tue, 15 Apr 2025 16:09:42 +0000 https://www.tasteofhome.com/?post_type=recipe&p=2133877

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground beef (80/20 preferably)
  • 6 to 12 slices of mild cheddar cheese (for single or double cheese)
  • 6 brioche hamburger buns
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • Sliced pickles, optional

Directions

  1. Take your ground beef and split it into 6 individual balls (roughly 3-4 ounces in weight).
  2. Heat up a pan to a medium-high heat. Take one ball of beef and drop it into the pan. With a burger press or spatula, press the burger as flat into the pan as possible. Move the press/spatula around to even out the press. Add a small pinch of salt. Once the sides start to crisp (about 2-3 minutes), use a metal spatula to start scrapping the sides to separate the burger from the pan. Then, flip the burger. Add 1-2 slices of cheese and cover for 2-3 minutes while the other side cooks. Once the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and repeat for the 5 other burger balls.
  3. To toast the buns, either do this before or after the cook. I like to do it after so the buns soak up some of the burger juice and get a nice crust on the inside. Place in the pan on low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until toasted brown.
  4. For the sauce, combine the mayo, mustard, ketchup and pickle juice in a bowl and stir until completely mixed. Put the burgers on buns, sauce them up and enjoy!

  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil drizzle
  • Hot honey
  • Minced fresh basil

Directions

  1. Slice the French bread vertically in half (down the middle to make two sides). Then slice horizontally to create a top and bottom. Take your prepared sauce and spread evenly onto the open side of the bread. Take your cheese and spread evenly on top of the sauce.
  2. Top with whichever toppings you like. I kept it nostalgic with classic pepperoni and cheese.
  3. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes. Then for 2-3 minutes, broil it to get some color on the cheese (keep a watchful eye).
  4. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving!
