Ingredients
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon stick butter, melted
- 4 thick slices cinnamon raisin challah, cut into sticks
- For coating the sticks:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
-
The night before making your French toast, cut bread into thick "fingers" and lay out on a tray. Cover lightly with a paper towel and leave out overnight to stale. This will result in firmer sticks for dipping.
-
In a large bowl, combine eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
In another bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
-
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter in the pan.
-
Roll the bread sticks in egg mixture quickly, shake off excess and place in pan. Turn and cook each side until golden brown and the sticks are firm.
-
Immediately roll sticks in cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve with maple syrup for dunking.
