Ingredients

1 loaf challah bread sliced into 1 inch thick slices
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
butter & oil I use olive or coconut

Instructions

Heat a heaping teaspoon of butter and one of oil in a skillet over medium low heat.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, syrup, vanilla and salt. I then worked in batches to cook it up.
Dip a piece in the egg/milk mixture, flip once then transfer to the heated pan, adding more until the pan is full without being crowded. This depends on the size of the pan you use.
Move the pieces around a bit to make sure there is no stickage.
Flip after 2-3 minutes and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Continue with the remaining pieces, adding more butter and oil to the pan, if needed.
Serve warm.

Notes

if you want everyone to eat together place the cooked slices on a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and keep the slices warm in the oven until ready to serve.
make this for two - save half the loaf for tomorrow! It comes out even better if the bread is a tad stale. Just half the rest of the recipe.
add cinnamon or orange zest to the egg mixture for a gourmet flavor
serve with maple syrup, berries, cream cheese sweetened with brown sugar or custard.
for festive holidays use your best dishes and play Christmas music in the background.
add protein with a side of bacon or low sodium ham.
