ingredients

  • 1 loaf challah bread sliced into 1” thick slices
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

instructions

  • Butter a large 9x13 inch casserole dish. Arrange the sliced challah bread into two rows in the baking dish, just slightly overlapping the pieces.
  • Combine the eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, spices, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until just blended. Pour the mixture evenly over the slices of bread, making sure they are all coated well. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the crushed gingersnaps over the French toast. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly golden. Serve with whipped cream and maple syrup.
