Servings: persons

2 eggs
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon tahini
1 splash vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 cup flaky cereal, crushed
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
4 thick slices challah (1/2- to 3/4-inch thick)
Butter, as needed for frying
Zest of 1 lemon, for garnishing (optional)
Fresh fruit, for serving (optional)

1
In a large shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, tahini, and vanilla extract.
2
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together crushed cereal, coconut, and sesame seeds.
3
In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter, or enough to generously coat the bottom of the pan.
4
Meanwhile, working with one or two bread slices at a time, dip into the liquid ingredients (both sides), then into the dry ingredients (both sides), pressing with your fingers or a spoon so that the dry stuff sticks. Repeat this process (a double dip!).
5
Fry the pieces over medium heat: You don't want to get the pan too hot or the seeds and coconut shreds will burn. Once the bottom side is golden-brown and delicious looking, flip and cook the other side.
6
Repeat with all pieces of bread.
7
To serve, shower with lemon zest and top with fresh fruit.
