Makes 8-10 slices
Ingredients
- 1 cup half and half
- 3 large eggs
- 40 grams honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8-10 slices of stale challah or brioche, 1/2 inch thick
Directions
1. Mix the custard
In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before, just be sure to refrigerate the mixture overnight. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
2. Make the french toast
Dip bread into custard mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a wire rack set inside a half sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch saute pan. Place 2-3 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with all 8-10 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fruit.
Keep warm in the oven at 250 for up to 10 minutes.
