Time 20m

Yield 8 slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

8 slices challah, sliced 3/4-inch thick, staled
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs (or 6 egg yolks)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 dashes pepper (2 grinds)
1 tablespoon vanilla
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

Steps:

Night before slice bread no thinner than 1/2" thick, we prefer 3/4" thick. Lay out on cooling rack to let stale overnight. This can also be done by slicing bread morning of preparation, laying on cooling rack on cookie sheet and placing in oven 250º for 15 minutes, turning once while in oven.
In 9x13 dish whisk together milk, eggs, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, vanilla and 2 tablespoons melted butter until blended well. Set aside.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in 12" skillet or griddle over medium heat. While butter is melting, soak 2 slices of bread at a time for no more than 20 seconds per side. You want them well saturated but not falling apart or a glob of dough.
When butter is melted and no longer foaming, transfer bread slices to skillet using a slotted spatula (allowing excess custard mixture to drip off). Cook to golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. If cooking to fast, i.e. browning or burning, reduce your temperature. Remove from skillet and place on cooling rack in 200º oven and continue with remaining bread.
*Tip - wipe skillet/griddle out with paper towels between each cooking of the french toast.
Serve with warmed maple syrup.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 loaf challah bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch slices
1 piloncillo cone (7 1/2 ounces), finely grated (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup finely grated Mexican chocolate
2 tablespoons ground coffee
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 to 1 cup raw sugar
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Chopped pecans
Finely grated Mexican chocolate
Maple syrup

Steps:

For the bread and filling: Using a small sharp knife, cut a 2-inch-long slit in one side of each bread slice, cutting three-quarters of the way through the bread and creating a pocket for the filling.
In a medium bowl, add the piloncillo, pecans, chocolate, coffee, orange zest and cinnamon and stir until combined. Fill the pocket of each slice of bread with some of the filling.
For the custard: In a shallow bowl, combine the milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract and eggs and whisk until combined. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, making sure to coat each side of the bread and allowing the egg mixture to soak in.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and heat until it melts.
Put the raw sugar on a plate, then dip the soaked bread in it, coating both sides of each slice.
Add some of the coated bread slices to the skillet and cook on both sides until light golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
Serve the French toast with chopped pecans, grated Mexican chocolate and maple syrup.

Tips:

Use day-old bread for the best results. This will help the bread to soak up the egg mixture and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
If you don't have day-old bread, you can toast fresh bread before making French toast. This will help to firm up the bread and prevent it from falling apart.
Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the French toast. This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to ensure that the bread is cooked through without burning.
Flip the French toast only once. This will help to prevent the bread from breaking.
Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. This will help to ensure that the French toast is at its best.

Conclusion:

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is quick and easy to make, and there are many different ways to customize it to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect French toast every time. Experiment with different recipes and toppings to find your favorite way to enjoy this delicious dish.
