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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Let the pieces sit for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan.
  6. Place two pieces of soaked bread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the fried toast to a baking sheet and rest in the oven for about five minutes.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 until all 8 pieces have been cooked.
  9. 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.

Notes

  • To store Fancy French Toast, place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To freeze, wrap each piece individually and store it in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 1 month.
  • To reheat, thaw if frozen, then warm in a toaster or oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) until heated through.
