#PostShabbatProblems: Fluffy French Toast

PROBLEM: It’s Sunday morning and I’m left with about 2 loaves of challah.

SOLUTION: Prepare the best fluffy french toast ever! The secret ingredient for extra fluff: add some flour!

FLUFFY FRENCH TOAST: 1 cup of milk, salt, 3 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, challah

Pour flour in a large bowl.

Slowly whisk the milk, salt, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract and sugar until the mixture is smooth.

Lightly oil a pan with butter or oil over medium heat.
Soak break slices in mixture. I like to leave it soaking for a couple of minutes so the mixture gets in the middle of the challah. Cook on each side until golden brown.

Serve with your favorite syrup, Nutella, fruit or anything you desire!

Bon Appetit!

Bonus Tip: If you have leftovers the next day toast them and they won’t get soggy!

Flatbread pizza originated in Naples as the “poor man’s meal.” It only became popular once Queen Margherita and King Umberto I visited Naples in 1889 and were tired of their fancy French cuisine. The Queens favorite pizza (can you guess?) was a pie with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Hence, the popular name today- Pizza Margherita. I enjoy a good margherita pizza but I also love to add my favorite toppings! What’s your favorite topping?

PIZZA DELIZIOSO: Flatbread, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, basil leaves, oregano, turmeric, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, olives. **Note: I pre-mince my garlic and store in glassware with olive oil and refrigerate for later use. Soaking the minced garlic in olive oil enhances the effects of the antioxidants from the garlic.

Put parchment paper on a baking pan and lay the flatbread down.
Take a bowl full of marinara sauce and add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, basil leaves, oregano, turmeric. Stir.
Lightly (to your liking) spread the sauce on the flatbread.
