Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut bread (Brioche or Texas Toast preferred)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 as desired Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Step 2

Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish large enough to hold a slice of bread (such as a pie plate or casserole dish).

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, ensuring the surface is fully greased.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, letting it soak for about 15-20 seconds per side. Be careful not to oversaturate.

Step 5

Place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet or griddle. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to serving plates. Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your Denny's Style French Toast!
