Challah French Toast! Yum!
 |
| This is very hearty. I found the recipe on the Food Network App. It is a Barefoot Contessa recipe and the Hubs Loves It! |
 |
| I used 6 large eggs and sliced the Challah into thick pieces (about 3/4"). |
 |
| She calls for plain Challah, but I could only find Challah with raisins. It is wonderful with raisins! You will need the 1 tsp of orange zest, 1 1/2 cups of half-and-half (I used heavy whipping cream, because I had it in the fridge) or 2% milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp Kosher salt. |
 |
| Mix eggs, cream, orange zest, honey, vanilla extract, salt in a shallow bowl. Soak bread in the mix 5 minutes on each side. |
 |
| Heat 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of oil in a skillet on medium heat. Cook soaked slices on each side for 2-4 minutes until golden. |
 |
| Heat your oven to 250 degrees so that you can keep the toast warm as you cook the second batch. Then cover your French toast with confectioners sugar. |
 |
| The Barefoot Contessa suggests serving with warm maple syrup and raspberry preserves. |
 |
| We didn't have raspberry preserves, so we just used blackberry preserves. It was still delicious! |
 |
| So Orange-Scented French Toast, covered in Blackberry Preserves and smothered in syrup...Win! |
The Hubs Loved It!
I cannot tell you that it is at all low carb, but there is quite a bit of protein from all of the eggs.
If you are going for yummy French Toast and you aren't carb counting...pick this one!!!
Hooray for Brunch!
La Bonne Vie Ya'll!
