The Best Challah French Toast You’ll Ever Try
Ingredients
- 4 extra large eggs, plus 2 yolks
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup of cream
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions
- Gather ingredients.
- In a medium shallow baking dish or bowl, beat eggs with milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg until blended.
- Working with all challah slices, soak bread in egg mixture for 30 minutes, turning it over at 15 minutes.
