Instructions
 

  • Combine eggs, half and half, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in large mixing bowl. Add challah bread pieces, gently stirring to coat bread with egg mixture. Pour into a lightly greased 10" square pan and set aside.
  • Melt butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat until combined with a smooth texture, about 5-7 minutes. Pour evenly over bread then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove casserole from refrigerator, uncover and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees then bake for about 30-35 minutes until eggs are set and it's hot and bubbly (place aluminum foil on top if bread browns to quickly). Enjoy!

Notes

Challah is a sweet egg-based bread known for its beautiful braid and shiny finish. Once found only in delicatessens, it’s now readily available most everywhere.
