Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole milk

• 3 extra large eggs

• 1/4 cup light brown sugar

• 3 tablespoons apple cider

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil

• 1 (1-pound) challah, sliced into eight slices

Direction

1. Preheat a griddle or large skillet on medium-high heat.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar and cider. Add in vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

3. When ready to cook, brush griddle or skillet with melted butter or oil.

4. Dip each slice of bread completely into the milk mixture and let it sit 10 seconds. Remove bread from milk, allow milk mixture to drain slightly and then arrange bread on griddle or in skillet.

5. Repeat with remaining bread until griddle or pan is full. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. When bread is golden, remove from heat and arrange on serving plate.

6. Continue until all bread is used.

7. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with seasonal fruit and whipped cream if desired.
