Soufganiyote French Toast

It’s nearing the end of Hanuka and by now there are more than a few leftover soufganiyote laying around drying out in a pastry box. No one wants to eat them and no one wants to be the one to throw them out. Luckily I’ve found a way to bring them back to their original glory. What better way to revive dry, stale soufganiyote than to French toast them?! (Yes, French toast is now a verb).

By drowning them in an eggy milk bath and giving them a quick fry, your soufganiyote are going to turn into a warm, melt in your mouth pastry better than when they first left the bakery.
Save your soufganiyote from being tossed out, revive them into a delicious dish and go ahead and serve them for breakfast. It is Hanuka after all. I don’t think anyone is going to complain. Win, win, win!
