Challah French Toast Recipe with Caramelised Apples & Walnuts

This french toast recipe uses challah – the classic Jewish bread, hence the recipe name – and the combination of apples and walnuts is a little nod to charoset, a typical mix of apples, nuts, sugar and spices eaten at Passover.

Because of the lighter texture of the bread, the centre of the toast stays wonderfully squidgy and oozy, while the outside crisps up like a sunbather at Daytona.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

French Toast
2 eggs, lightly beaten
170ml milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Zest of 1/2 orange
Good grating of whole nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2 thick-cut slices of challah
30g salted butter

Apples and Walnuts
100g salted butter
100g caster sugar
2 eating apples, peeled, quartered and cored
50g walnut pieces

Method:

French toast
1. Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest, nutmeg and salt together in a shallow dish.
2. Add the challah slices and leave to soak for about 5 minutes.
3. The bread soaks up most of the liquid, so flip the slices over and allow to soak for a further 2 minutes.
4. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and once foaming, add the challah slices.
5. Cook over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, or until dappled golden brown all over. Keep warm.

Apples and Walnuts
1. For the apples and walnuts, melt the butter in a frying pan until foaming, then sprinkle in the sugar.
2. Caramelise slightly, then add the apples and the walnut pieces.
3. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened nicely. Serve with the French toast.
