This is a Jewish version of French toast, that uses the Jewish celebratory plaited bread,
Challah as a basis for the dish.
Ingredients:
6 eggs
120ml double cream, single cream or milk
1 tsp ground
cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
5 tsp clarified butter (ghee)
8 slices
Challah cut 2 to 3 cm thick
Method:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, double cream, cinnamon and salt. Pour into a shallow dish then dip the challah slices into this, one at a time, turning to ensure that the slices are well coated and that the mixture has been absorbed by the bread.
Add the ghee (clarified butter) to a non-stick pan and when hot add the challah slices and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely golden brown (fry slowly otherwise the inside won't set properly).
Serve hot, accompanied by jam, marmalade, syrup, honey, fresh fruit or just plain. For this dish double cram is by far the best liquid to use, but if you want the same effect without the fat you can use a 50:50 mix of Greek-style yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk.
