Ingredients

• 6 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0.25 cup maple syrup (for serving)
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and frothy.

Step 2

Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan to make it easier to dip the bread.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, making sure it coats the cooking surface evenly.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated. Let any excess drip off before placing the bread onto the heated skillet.

Step 5

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove the cooked French toast to a serving platter and repeat the process with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

Once all the French toast slices are cooked, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious French French Toast!
