A couple of years ago, we visited New Orleans. My sister-in-law, Lisa, lives there. When asked for a good place to have breakfast, she recommended a place that served the "best challah French toast." So we went. It was fantastic! I can't believe I waited this long to try to recreate the dish. We found our challah (pronounced hall-ah) at Central Market, but Carshon's Deli also sells it. So when you are in the mood for a decadent breakfast or brunch or want to impress your friends, try this recipe.
Challah bread
eggs
milk
butter
syrup
orange juice
chopped pecans
Directions: Cut the challah bread into 1 inch slices. To make two servings (2 slices per person) we used 2 eggs and about a tablespoon of milk. Mix eggs and milk in a bowl. Butter the skillet. When the skillet is hot, dip the bread into the egg mixture. Cook until golden brown on both sides. In another bowl, mix 4 parts syrup with 1 part orange juice. Add pecans and microwave for about 20 seconds. Pour over challah French toast and serve.
