Ingredients

• 6 slices thick-cut sandwich bread or brioche
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0 maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional topping)
• 0 fresh berries or fruit (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and smooth.

Step 2

Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate or casserole dish, to make dipping the bread easier.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, letting it soak for about 10-15 seconds per side, then lift it out and allow any excess mixture to drip off.

Step 5

Place the soaked bread on the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip the slice and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Repeat the soaking and cooking process for the remaining slices of bread, adding the additional tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Serve the French toast warm with optional toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or fruit.
