  • 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 of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated.
  • Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter evenly over the surface.
  • Cook the French Toast: Add the soaked slices to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp outside while soft inside.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or any toppings of your choice.

Notes

Notes

  • This recipe works best with soft, thick bread varieties like brioche, challah, or country loaf.
  • Cook over medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Butter provides extra flavor and helps achieve a golden crust, though oil may be substituted if needed.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture contrast between crispy outside and creamy inside.
