    I made this for a Mother's Day brunch at my home and it was delicious! I thought that I had the vanilla extract needed, but I did not. So, I used every other ingredient and it still came out great! Everyone raved about them. I'm going to make this again this weekend!

    This recipe makes the most fabulous use of that whatever slightly stale challah you have left over. I've made these twice now, and I'm so impressed with the results. Ethereal, filling, and the perfect canvas for toppings or fillings of all kinds. Try it as a dessert using pastry cream, mixed berries, and powdered sugar.

    A great basic french toast recipe that can be modified endless ways. I made it exactly according to the recipe and then did a layer of cream cheese sandwiched between two finished slices of french toast baked in the oven at 375 for about 7 minutes. Delicious!

    This was the best french toast I've ever made! I only had 4 eggs, but kept the liquid the same, although used 1 cup whole milk, and 1/2 cup half & half. I omitted the orange zest - I wasn't sure the kids would like it. Will make this again for sure!

    yum!! This is a great recipe. I lightened it up a little by using milk instead of half and half and cooked it in grapeseed oil instead of butter. I also added cinnamon.

    Made this for 2nd time this morning. De-licious, Ina...as always. I can't imagine this without Bacon on the side. Before placing your second batch of bread into the liquid, give it a quick whisk to blend the settled ingredients first. One side of my last batch was coated with orange zest...which I loved, but my son did not. I also tried slicing the bread on a diagonal to make larger portions... without realizing this would also result in too much crust per slice. Next time I will go for straight slices.
