Special Precautions and Tips:
- For extra flavor, use toasted bread.
- If you don't have challah bread, you can use any other type of bread that is thick enough to soak up the egg mixture.
- To make sure the French toast is cooked through, insert a knife into the center of a slice. If it comes out clean, the French toast is done.
- If you are allergic to peanuts, you can substitute another nut butter such as almond butter or cashew butter.
