Servings: 8 Slices
Calories: 153kcal
Ingredients
- 8 pretty thick 1/2 inch slices of French bread (or other crusty bread, preferably stale)
- 1 cup of half-and-half I had to use a mixture of skim milk and heavy cream because it was all I had
- 2 tablespoon of honey easiest if it is warmed up a bit
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Dash of flavor try vanilla extract, orange extract, or almond extract
- 4 Tbsp. of butter
- Toppings see ideas below
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- In a pie dish (or other flat-bottomed dish with sides), combine the half-and-half, honey, salt, eggs, cinnamon and any dash of flavor. Whisk to incorporate.
- Dip the bread into the egg mixture for about 25-30 seconds per side. Place each soaked piece on a cooling or baking rack that is resting on a baking sheet to collect the drippings.
- Let the pieces sit for about 1-2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan.
- Place two pieces of soaked bread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the fried toast to a baking sheet and rest in the oven for about five minutes.
- Repeat steps 3-7 until all 8 pieces have been cooked.
- Serve immediately and top with your favorite toppings. I topped ours with warmed maple syrup and powdered sugar. You can add fresh fruits like raspberries and blueberries, or top it with whipped cream, peanut butter, Nutella, or jelly.
