Over the top? Possibly. Whether you slap this baby together and eat it over the kitchen sink or layer it lovingly, top it with maple syrup and eat it like a civilized human being, it’s sure to be the highlight of your taste buds’ day. This bad boy is best shared with a friend or two...or six.

French Toast:

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 C. heavy cream, milk, or a combination
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  •  a pinch of salt
  • 4  slices challah, brioche or other white bread, sliced 1” thick

Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a shallow dish, lay bread in egg mixture, making sure to flip and coat both sides.  Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat.  Fry bread in pan, flipping when golden and toasty or 2-3 minutes per side, repeat with the remaining slices.  Remove to wire rack to cool for sandwich making.
