That\u2019s why, when the hunger strikes, we confidently reach for a loaf of braided, spongy challah and whip up challah French toast.<\/p>\n<p>Challah is softer and more pillowy than other types of bread, thanks to the addition of eggs and oil to its dough.\u00a0Its unique brioche texture is perfect for soaking up the silky French toast custard, which then sizzles up to a caramelized golden-brown color when it meets the skillet\u2019s heat. When you serve challah French toast with a pat of yellow butter and some warm maple syrup, you\u2019ll never want to have French toast any other way.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Challah French Toast<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cream or milk:<\/strong> Use half-and-half cream, 2% milk or a 50-50 mixture of the two for our challah French toast recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need three large eggs to make the French toast custard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey:<\/strong> We lightly sweeten the custard with 2 tablespoons of honey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> A touch of vanilla extract adds a floral note with a hint of sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spices:<\/strong> Ground cinnamon and cardamom make this French toast taste extra warm and cozy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange zest:<\/strong> Cardamom and cinnamon were meant to be paired with orange.

If it\u2019s in the day-old section, even better\u2014dry bread soaks up more custard.
