How to Make Barefoot Contessa S Challah French Toast

1. In a shallow dish large enough to hold three slices of challah bread side by side, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Add the zest of 1 orange and 2 tablespoons of honey to the egg mixture.
3. Gently place three slices of challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let soak for approximately 3 minutes per side.
4. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Carefully transfer the soaked challah slices to the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet for each batch of French toast.
7. If serving alongside other dishes, transfer the cooked French toast to a 200°F oven to keep warm while you finish preparing the rest of the meal.
