Thick Cut French Toast With Vanilla and Honey

The best French toast begins with thick cut brioche bread dipped in heavy cream with a little vanilla and honey. Yum!

Prepare the Ingredients

The best French toast begins with best ingredients: fresh eggs, heavy cream, real vanilla extract, honey and real maple syrup. Preheat the oven to 275° F. Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla, honey and salt in a shallow bowl. I like to use a glass meatloaf pan. Slice the bread in ¾ to 1-inch thick slices.

Soak the sliced bread in the egg mixture for 15 seconds. Turn over and soak another 215 seconds. Soak one or two at a time, but do not overcrowd the bowl.

Cook on a Hot Griddle Then Bake

Heat two tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Be careful not to burn the butter. Place the soaked bread on the griddle and cook until golden brown (about three minutes). Turn over and cook the other side (another three minutes). Place the cooked French toast on a baking rack over a sheet pan and bake for about five minutes. This is step is important if the bread is thick to avoid a soggy inside.

Dress Up and Serve

Microwave the syrup for 30 seconds to warm it up. Sprinkle the French toast with powdered sugar and serve with butter, warmed maple syrup and some fresh berries if you have some on hand. Enjoy!

Notes

If you soak the bread too long, the French toast will be wet and soggy inside.  Baking the French toast for five minutes helps set any custard that is underdone.
