Ingredients
3 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 (1 1/2-lb.) loaf chocolate babka, cut into 8 slices (3/4″ to 1″ thick)
8 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened and divided
3 Tbsp seeded raspberry preserves, room temperature
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pure maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Add the babka slices and let them soak for 1–2 minutes per side, just until coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the soaked babka slices undisturbed until golden and the custard is set, 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for about 3 minutes more. Repeat with another tablespoon of butter for the remaining slices.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter with a handheld mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1–2 minutes. Add the raspberry preserves and cinnamon, beating until smooth and pink.
- Serve the warm babka French toast topped with whipped raspberry butter and maple syrup.
Notes
Try cinnamon babka for a lighter variation.
Raspberry preserves can be swapped for strawberry jam or orange marmalade.
Best reheated in a 300°F oven for crispness.
Powdered sugar or fresh berries make great toppings.
