In a shallow bowl (a glass meatloaf pan works well), whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla, honey, and salt. Slice the bread in ¾ inch thick slices.
Soak the slices in the egg mixture for 15 seconds. Turn over and soak another 15 seconds.
Heat two tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the soaked bread and cook until golden brown (about three minutes per side).
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.
