Instructions
Prepare the Custard:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Pour into a shallow dish for easy dipping.
Prepare the Bread:
-
If using fresh bread, lightly toast the slices to dry them out.
Soak the Bread:
-
Dip each slice into the custard for 10–15 seconds per side, ensuring it’s well-coated but not overly saturated.
Cook the French Toast:
-
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter and cook the soaked bread slices in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve and Garnish:
-
Plate the French toast and garnish with powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
