Ingredients

4 servings

•

6 large eggs
•

¾ cup whole milk
•

¾ cup heavy cream
•

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
•

½ teaspoon kosher salt
•

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or extract

•

1 loaf challah bread
•

unsalted butter, or ghee, for greasing
•

softened butter
•

pure maple syrup, warmed
•

flaky sea salt
•

fresh berry

Instructions

Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
Working in batches, dip each slice of challah in the custard, letting soak for 20–60 seconds on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked challah on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
Serve the French toast with a pat of butter, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of flaky salt, and berries.
Enjoy!
