Ingredients
- 8 slices challah bread (or brioche or thick bread)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250℉. Place an oven-safe wire rack on a large sheet pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk and cream. Add the vanilla, honey and cinnamon and whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Add the custard to a shallow bowl or baking dish.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter until shimmering.
- Working in batches, soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture for about 10 seconds, flipping once to get both sides.
- Add the bread to the skillet, leaving space between each piece. Cook for 2-3 minutes, each side, until the toast is golden brown.
- Place the cooked pieces of toast on a cookie sheet in the oven to stay warm while cooking the remaining pieces. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup or jam, and fresh berries. Enjoy!!
