Servings: 6 slices
Equipment
- 1 non-stick skillet
Ingredients

- ¼ heavy whipping cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 thick slices stale white bread brioche or challah work great
- Unsalted butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- If you’re already using stale bread, skip to step 2. If you’re using fresh bread, preheat your oven to its lowest temperature. Stick the slices of bread in for about 5 minutes each side.6 thick slices stale white bread
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy whipping cream, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.½ cup milk, ¼ heavy whipping cream, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 pinch salt
- Heat a lightly oiled or buttered non-stick skillet over medium heat.Unsalted butter or oil
- Meanwhile, soak a slice of bread in the milk mixture until it’s fully saturated. My guideline is usually 10 seconds per side.
- Place the soaked break on the pre-heated skills, cook for a few minutes on each side until both sides are nice and golden brown, and remove to a plate.
- Repeat for the remaining bread slices.
- Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or all three and enjoy!
