Our Test Kitchens staff found the light version of this recipe just as delicious as the original. Challah bread is a rich egg bread with a light, airy texture. Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) challah bread loaf, cubed |
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cut into pieces |
6 large eggs |
4 cups half-and-half |
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced |
1 (10-ounce) jar strawberry preserves |
Directions:
1. Arrange half of challah bread in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan. Sprinkle with cheese pieces, and top with remaining bread.
2. Whisk together eggs and next 3 ingredients; pour over bread mixture, pressing bread cubes to absorb egg mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours.
3. Bake, covered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 more minutes.
4. Heat sliced strawberries and strawberry preserves in a saucepan over low heat, and serve over toast.
5. *French bread may be substituted.
6. To Lighten: Substitute 1 (8-ounce) package Neufchâtel cheese for cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups egg substitute for eggs, and 4 cups fat-free milk for half-and-half.
