Prep:: 10 min
Cook:: 15 min

Yield:: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

8 slices Challah bread
1/2 cup cherry all-fruit jelly or jam
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
Confectioners sugar and cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

Special equipment: Rolling Pin Medium shallow dish Fork or whisk Medium skillet Spatula Fine mesh strainer

Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin. Place a tablespoon of the jelly and the cheese in the center of each bread. Fold the bread in half, over the jelly and cheese, to make a turnover. Press the edges together lightly with a fork to seal the turnovers. Break the eggs into a shallow bowl and stir with a fork or whisk.

Melt a small piece of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Dip 2 turnovers in the egg mixture and then lay them in the pan. Fry the turnovers for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Use a flat spatula to transfer the turnovers to paper towels to drain. Cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining turnovers.

Put a couple spoonfuls of confectioners sugar and cocoa into a fine strainer. Shake the strainer over the turnovers to dust with sugar and cocoa. Serve.

Never leave a child unattended in the kitchen. Limit the child to tasks that are safe and age-appropriate.
