Ingredients

• Leftover challah
• Milk
• Eggs
• Sugar
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

3. Heat a pan and give it a good spray.
4. Fry each slice until golden on both sides.
5. Finish in a 350°F oven for a few minutes for the perfect crisp.
6. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.
7. Variation: stuff two slices with cream cheese before dipping for stuffed French toast.

Bake a bigger challah this week. Sunday breakfast will thank you.
