Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the dish)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup Additional honey (for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Arrange the slices of bread in the baking dish, slightly overlapping them to fit.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure all the bread is evenly soaked. Press down gently on the bread slices with a spatula to help them absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and puffed, and the custard is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Dust the baked French toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with additional honey. Serve with fresh berries if desired.
