Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, protein-packed twist on French toast using hearty Challah bread and a hint of warm spices, topped with a cool honey-yogurt dollop.
In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, cinnamon, cardamom, and orange zest until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the spices don't clump up on the first slice of bread!
Place the Challah slices into the egg mixture, letting them soak for about 2 minutes per side until they've absorbed the custard but aren't falling apart.
Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the soaked bread in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Don't crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary to keep the heat even.
Plate the French toast and top each serving with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, and fresh berries.
This is a fantastic way to use up slightly stale bread. If you can't find Challah, a thick-cut brioche or even a hearty sourdough works beautifully. The orange zest is the secret to making this feel like a fancy brunch without the restaurant price tag!
