Challah After Shabbat

What to do with Challah after Shabbat?  Time to work, Shabbat is over and we need to give new life to the almost stale bread.

Each week, I try to make time to bake challah. Each recipe makes quite a bit of challah, so sometimes I end up with 'extra' which means that it is no longer the super moist tasty bread to just eat, but we need to make it into something more special.  For example, I can make bread pudding, regular toast, french toast or croutons out of it.


 So today I am making French Toast.

Whip up the eggs, cinnamon, milk or oj, etc. Then fry it up in my cast iron skillet. Simple and delicious. 

What do YOU put on your french toast?
I grew up with Log Cabin Syrup or powdered sugar. One grandmother would always use jam.  The other grandmother would serve it with molasses for my grandfather. My dad only rarely eats it, but if he did, it would be with salt. So how do I usually eat mine? Either plain, hot straight from the pan, or with fresh berries with yogurt, or real maple syrup.

No matter who makes french toast, it's always different.
And each of my challah recipes I have tried come ut a little different too, so my french toast also can vary.

  1. I put homemade strawberry jam on mine. It is delicious. This is my first visit to your blog. I planned only to stop and say hello but was lured by your prior posts and stayed longer than I planned. I really like your blog and will be back often. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
