HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, steeped saffron (with its liquid), and rosewater until well combined.

02

Dip each slice of Challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly saturated. Let excess drip off.

03

Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

04

Place 2 slices of the soaked bread into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

05

Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the remaining bread slices.

06

Serve the Persian Saffron and Rosewater French Toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and sprinkled with chopped pistachios.

Chef's Tips

For a richer saffron flavor, steep the saffron threads in hot milk instead of water. Ensure your skillet is not too hot, or the French toast will brown too quickly on the outside and remain raw inside.

Easy Substitutions

You can use any thick-cut white bread if Challah or brioche is unavailable. Almond extract can be used in place of rosewater for a different aromatic profile. Walnuts or almonds can substitute pistachios.
