Classic French Toast

Ingredients

• •4 thick slices day-old brioche or challah bread
• •2 eggs
• •1/4 cup milk
• •1/4 cup heavy cream
• •1 tsp vanilla extract
• •1/2 tsp cinnamon
• •Pinch of salt
• •1 tbsp butter for frying

Steps

1. 1.If your bread isn't already a day old, let the slices sit out uncovered for a few hours first - slightly stale bread soaks up the custard without turning mushy.
2. 2.Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together in a shallow dish.
3. 3.Dip each bread slice into the custard, coating both sides well and letting the excess drip off.
4. 4.Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
5. 5.Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
6. 6.Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
