I can’t take any credit for this.  My husband makes the most killer french toast.  The key ingredient is the bread.  He buys his Challah Bread from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on the west side of town, and it is so delicious.  I’ve heard there is better (and cheaper) out there, but so far we have not gone wrong.  It is so fluffy and just melts in your mouth.  Here’s how he does it:

4 slices of challah bread about a 1/2 inch thick
2 eggs
a dash of milk for fluffiness
a pinch of cinnamon

Whisk eggs and milk, then soak the bread in batter for 2-3 seconds on each side.  Let excess drip off.  Heat up the griddle or pan for about 5 minutes and cook over low-medium heat.  You do NOT want to cook your french toast too fast because the bread is thick.  The outside will burn and the inside will be a mushy, soggy mess.  Just before its done cooking, slather each side in butter and grill it for a few seconds to finish it off.  This will give it a nice brown, crispy outside.  Top with syrup and/or powdered sugar.  Prepare for a little trip to heaven.
