Challah French Toast

On Saturday, my friend Ana Lisa and I decided to go to the farmer's market, since it was such a gorgeous day.  We went in search of fresh eggs, but were sad to find out that all the eggs had sold out by 8 am.  The market doesn't even technically open until 8!  
We still made a good haul picking up tomatoes, shallots, onions, artisan cheese, sweet potatoes, some Jamaician spices (that my whole kitchen smells like them now!) dog biscuits (that I gave Penny one yesterday and she is still begging me for more) some Thai basil and fresh baked Challah bread.  Challah is a bread that is traditionally eaten on the Jewish Sabath.  

I decided to make Matt some french toast with our Challah bread.  It makes great french toast because it is slighty sweet and very dense.

6 slices of Challah bread
1 1/2 cups egg beaters
3 tablespoons of fat free half and half
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon Mexican Vanilla
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Mix all the ingredients except the bread, dip the bread in the egg bath.  Cook on a medium heat in a large buttered skillet, cook eat side about 2 minutes or until nicely browned.  Serve with syrup and butter or just butter and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.  

Jason, what do you think?  A Prosecco with this decadent breakfast.
