Ingredients
8 slices of ½ inch-thick challah bread
2 cups whole milk
4 beaten large eggs
¾ cup sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
-
1 tsp of Soom Premium Tahini
-
1 tsp D’vash Date Syrup
Directions
Beforehand, leave the challah bread out overnight, uncovered, to stale. If you can’t stale the bread overnight, set the slices on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200F for 10 minutes.
Let cool fully before soaking in the egg mixture. In a large bowl, combine milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
Soak the challah slices in the egg mixture for 5 minutes. Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet and add vegetable oil. Once the butter and oil are hot, fry the soaked bread slices one or two at a time on each side until golden brown.
Drizzle tahini and date syrup on each slice of french toast. Top off with a pinch of sea salt.
