🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 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)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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