It's tsoureki season! For those of you who aren't familiar with it, tsoureki is a sweet bread made with eggs and butter - a kind of Greek brioche, if you will. It's usually made for Easter, but I've seen it made for New Year's Day, too. 

As if it wasn't enough to enjoy this soft, sweet challah-like holiday bread as-is or toasted with butter, did you know you can make French toast with it? 

It couldn't be easier; you do exactly what you would do for regular French toast. But what a nice, subtle change of pace! Stock up on tsoureki this season and give it a try! 

I used a wonderful Greek honey from Ikaria - the "island where people forget to die", as it's known due to the longevity of it's residents - as a more culturally authentic substitute for the maple syrup you might normally use on French toast. Any honey will do, but of course Greek is best! Put some in a small microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds so it liquefies and is easy to pour. 

I used tsoureki that I had frozen and thawed, and it worked just fine. Freezing the bread is a great idea for when you want some but it's no longer available at your local Greek market. 

Of course, if you're one of those clever folks who makes their own tsoureki, you can have it whenever you like. 

(Also I'm super impressed by you.)
