  • 3 large eggs

  • 4 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

Instructions

  • Prepare the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, salt, eggs, and half and half until fully combined and smooth.
  • Slice the Bread: Cut the loaf of bread into thick slices, about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
  • Soak the Bread: Dip each slice into the custard, making sure both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated.
  • Heat the Pan: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter evenly across the surface.
  • Cook the French Toast: Cook each slice for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp outside and creamy inside.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Notes

  • Use soft, thick bread like brioche, challah, or country loaf for best custard absorption.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Butter is preferred for flavor and achieving a golden crust, though oil can be substituted.
  • Best served immediately to maintain texture contrast between crispy outside and creamy inside.
