Barefoot Contessa's Challah French Toast image

I just watched Barefoot Contessa and she made a romantic breakfast for dinner for her husband. I have posted the other things she made which are recipe #85443, recipe #85449, and recipe #85451. She also made sausage links which I'm sure everyone knows how to cook in a pan ;>

I love that this recipe can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to be able to pop it in the oven in the morning and have a hot, delicious breakfast ready in minutes.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. It's the perfect brunch dish.

This recipe is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my French toast didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a little dry and the custard coating didn't seem to stick to the bread very well. Not sure what went wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of French toast, but this recipe changed my mind. The challah bread makes it so light and fluffy, and the custard coating is to die for. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is the best French toast I've ever had. The custard coating is so rich and flavorful, and the challah bread is perfectly toasted. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of challah bread. But I'm so glad I did! The challah bread makes this French toast so light and airy. It's truly a game-changer.

This is my new go-to French toast recipe. It's so delicious and versatile. I've tried it with all sorts of toppings, from classic butter and syrup to fresh fruit and whipped cream. It's always a hit.
