Ingredients:: 11
Yields:: 4-6 Eibrot
Serves:: 4-6

ingredients

1 loaf challah bread, cubed
cinnamon, to taste
6 eggs
¹⁄₂ cup half-and-half
1 ¹⁄₂ cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
butter
vegetable oil
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
berries (optional)
whipped cream (optional)

directions

Cube bread into bite size pieces using a serrated knife.
Dust cubed bread with cinnamon.
Combine the eggs with the half & half, milk and vanilla.
Whisk together and pour over the cubed Challah, tossing gently to coat each piece thoroughly, but not break it up into mush.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the Eibrot in the heated skillet (you'll be doing this in several batches) until golden brown all over, tossing gently with a spatula to evenly cook on all sides.
Once browned, add 1-1/2 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cup of sugar, tossing to coat.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely melted and evenly coating the Eibrot.
Remove to a serving plate, and repeat with remaning Eibrot.
Serve with fresh berries (blackberries are particularly delicious!) and a dollop of whipped cream, on the side (optional).

I'm a 35 single mom of one wonderful 16 year old son who happens to be the world's pickiest eater. I'm a human resource director for a non-profit private special education school. Cooking is my #1 hobby. Ironically, I became interested in all things cullinary after I had gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago. Losing that much weight & as quickly as I did really changed my relationship with food. (I lost 128 lbs - 258 lbs before, 130 lbs now)
