Cinnamon And Vanilla Challah French Toast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large eggs
3 cups low-fat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
12 slices day-old challah, cut diagonally and 1 inch thick
unsalted butter
safflower oil or canola oil
cinnamon sugar or confectioners' sugar
jam or honey

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 250\u00b0F.
Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl until cream-colored. Pour into a shallow dish. Dip the bread in the mixture, one slice at a time, until soaked.
Sweep a stick of butter around the inside of a hot oiled skillet. Fry the bread in batches over medium heat until golden brown, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove to a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm until all the slices are cooked. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and syrup.
