Method

Preparing the French Toast

  1. 1

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the French bread into thick slices, about 1 inch each. You should have roughly 8-10 slices.

  2. 2

    Mix the Custard

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

  3. 3

    Soak the Bread

    Place the slices of French bread in the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until fully saturated.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cooking the French Toast

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Toast

    Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to a greased baking dish.

  4. 8

    Add the Topping

    In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter and mix with brown sugar. Drizzle the mixture over the cooked French toast slices.
