Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 1<\/span> loaf day-old Challah Bread<\/span> cut into 1\/2 - 3\/4-inch slices<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> cup<\/span> half-and-half<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> large eggs<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> honey<\/span> warmed in microwave for 20 seconds<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> vanilla extract<\/span><\/li>
  • 4<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> butter<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees<\/div><\/li>
    • Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, salt, and vanilla in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour mixture into a shallow bowl or pie pan and set aside.<\/div><\/li>
    • Dip bread into mixture and allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side. Place on a cooling rack set on a baking sheet and allow to sit for 1 - 2 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
    • Set a griddle or large frying pan over medium-low heat. Spray surface with cooking spray and then melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Place 2 - 4 slices on pan or griddle. Cook about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes (I use a perforated pizza pan for this step as the racks in my oven have wide slats). Repeat with all 8 slices.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      Notes<\/h3>
      To add some sweetness, serve with maple syrup or cinnamon sugar.<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
