?Challah French Toast is a traditional Jewish dish that is made by dipping slices of challah bread in a mixture of eggs and milk, then frying them in butter or oil. It is typically served with a sweet syrup or jam, and sometimes topped with powdered sugar.

 6 Eggs
 ½ c Heavy cream, half-and-half or milk
 1 ts Cinnamon
 ¼ ts Salt
 4 tb To 6 T clarified butter
 8 sl Challah, cut 1-inch thick
1

Beat the eggs together with cream, half-and-half, or milk. Beat in cinnamon and salt. Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Dip the challah slices, one at a time, into the egg mixture, making sure that each slice is well coated. The challah should absorb a little of the egg mixture but not enough to get soggy. Fry each battered challah slice for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Don't fry too fast or the inside will be wet and gooey. Serve with your favorite jam, maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, sugar, or plain.
