Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- maple syrup (for serving)
- powdered sugar (for garnish)
- fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to accommodate a slice of bread.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely.
Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Shake off any excess custard before placing the bread in the skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep it warm by covering loosely with foil or placing it in a low-heat oven.
Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the French toast is cooked, serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh berries, if desired.
