Tips & Tricks (5)
- Day-Old Challah is Essential 🍞Use challah that's at least one day old; it has less moisture and won't become soggy when dipped in the egg mixture, resulting in a perfectly crispy exterior and custardy interior.
- Infuse Your Egg Mixture 🧡Let the orange zest steep in the milk for 5 minutes before whisking in eggs and vanilla to extract maximum citrus flavor that complements the pumpkin pie spice beautifully.
- Brief Dip, Not a Soak 🚫Dip each challah slice for only 1-2 seconds per side in the egg mixture; over-soaking destroys the bread's structure and creates dense, rubbery french toast instead of tender slices.
- Butter Your Pan Properly 🧈Use clarified butter or brown butter for cooking as it won't burn at medium heat and adds rich, nutty flavor that elevates the maple syrup and honey components.
- Toast Your Spice First ✨Lightly bloom the pumpkin pie spice in the hot butter for 10-15 seconds before adding the dipped bread to awaken and intensify the warm spice notes throughout the dish.
