Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices challah, from middle of loaf (each about 2 inches thick)
3 ounces grated gruyere cheese (about 3/4 c)
1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small apple, cored peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut a pocket in each bread slice through the bottom crust, parallel to the cut surfaces. Do not cut through the top crust. Stuff each with half the cheese and a few onion slices.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into a wide, shallow dish. Place stuffed bread into custard. Turn over after about 2 minutes, then let stand until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place half the apples in a single layer and cook 1 minute. Place the stuffed, soaked bread on the apples and cover with the remaining apple slices. Cook 1 minute.
  • Cover pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 5 minutes. Uncover pan, increase heat back to medium, and cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn bread over and cook until golden, 3-5 minutes.

I didn't have any red onion, so I used green onion instead. It worked just fine.

I'm not a big fan of Gruyère cheese, so I used cheddar instead. It still turned out great!

This was a great way to use up leftover apples and bread. The Gruyère cheese added a nice touch of richness.
