Barefoot Contessa's Challah French Toast image

I just watched Barefoot Contessa and she made a romantic breakfast for dinner for her husband. I have posted the other things she made which are recipe #85443, recipe #85449, and recipe #85451. She also made sausage links which I'm sure everyone knows how to cook in a pan ;>

This was a great recipe! I used day-old challah bread, and it worked perfectly. The French toast was light and fluffy, and the lemon curd was the perfect topping. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this for my family on Christmas morning, and it was a huge hit! The bread was so soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar filling was the perfect touch. I will definitely be making this again.

Not a fan of the overnight version. I prefer to make it fresh. But overall, it's a good recipe.

This recipe turned out great! The bread was tender and fluffy on the inside, and the crust was perfectly golden brown. I loved the addition of the cinnamon sugar, which gave it a nice sweetness. I would definitely make this again.

I'll be honest, I was skeptical about this recipe at first. But I'm so glad I tried it! The slight sweetness of the bread pairs perfectly with the tanginess of the lemon curd. And the poppy seeds add a nice touch of crunch. I'll definitely be making

A little too eggy for me. Next time I will use less eggs.

This was absolutely delicious and an amazing recipe! I made the overnight version, and it was superb! My family loved the custardy texture of the center and the crispy exterior. My kids usually don't eat French toast, but they couldn't get enough of
