French Toast
This version of French toast made with Challah was a favorite at the Ross School. If you can’t find Challah in your local supermarket look for Portuguese sweet bread or even just a good hearty peasant or French loaf. Semolina breads also make great French toast. Be sure to use farm fresh eggs for a rich egg flavor to complement the freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
