Ingredients

• 6 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 as desired Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 as desired Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, letting it soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread absorbs some liquid but does not become overly soggy.

Step 4

Carefully place the soaked bread on the preheated skillet or griddle. Repeat the process with additional slices of bread, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

Cook the bread for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Add the second tablespoon of butter halfway through cooking if needed.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices and custard mixture.

Step 7

Dust the French toast with powdered sugar, and serve warm with optional maple syrup and fresh berries for garnish.

Step 8

Enjoy your indulgent 'Daddy's Fattening French Toast'!
