Challah French Toast

For me, there really is only one acceptable use for challah which is to make french toast.  Since the bread is made with egg it holds up better when battered and fried so the only real difference from making french toast with normal sandwich bread is that the slices should soak in the batter a little longer than normal.

Since this french toast is a little fancier than normal it is common to also top it with fancy condiments.  Though I have never tried it, I have heard lemon curd is spectacular spread across a slice.  We settled for some runny homemade raspberry jam and a drizzle of pecan syrup.

One loaf of bread makes enough french toast for 4 people
