"Challah bread, like brioche, has an eggy richness that lends itself well to this classic breakfast preparation. While many French toast recipes use cream and an excess of sugar, this lighter version uses whole milk flecked with orange zest and a strawberry-orange topping to add flavor without being too heavy or cloying.
