Ingredients:

This is, hands down, the best french toast recipe ever. People don't believe me when I tell them, but all it takes is one bite. So when you're having people over for breakfast, make this and you'll knock their socks off. You'll notice the recipe calls for a loaf of Challah, which is a jewish bread. You can get it at most bakeries, (even the grocery one most times), and it's pretty easy to make, too.

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into bits
8 large eggs
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 tablespoons rum
1 loaf challah cut into 1-inch-thick slices and ends discarded
4 cups corn flakes
cinnamon sugar made by stirring together 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
