- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions

- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for 2 to 3 seconds per side. Don’t let the bread soak or become too heavy.1 large challah loaf
- Arrange the dipped bread slices vertically in the prepared baking dish with the tops of the slices facing up. Alternate larger and smaller pieces as needed to fit.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the bread, then drizzle the melted butter over the top.4 tablespoons light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp and the center is cooked through.
- If any raw egg mixture remains, bake for a few more minutes. Tent with foil if the bread starts to brown too quickly.
Notes
- If you don't have an 11x7-inch baking dish, a 9x13-inch will work. There may be a little extra room, so arrange the slices as best you can.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
