How to cook deliciously - Challah French Toast

1. Stage

If your bread is not day old, dry it out in the oven. Place bread on two large baking sheets and bake at 200º for 20 minutes, then let cool.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a large pinch of kosher salt. Working with about 3 to 4 slices at a time, depending on what will fit into your skillet, dip slices in milk mixture, letting them soak for 10 seconds on each side. Place on a plate while you prepare your skillet.

3. Stage

In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. As soon as it starts to sizzle, add soaked bread and let cook until golden, 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter to skillet as needed.

4. Stage

Serve french toast immediately topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup, as desired.
