Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp warm honey
- 1 lb bread such as Challah, Brioche, or Texas Toast
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Slice your bread about 3/4" thick, and arrange on a wire rack for 1-2 hours if time permits to dry out the bread slightly. Preheat the oven to 275˚F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, yolks, milk, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and warm honey until well blended and honey has dissolved. Pour into a casserole dish that fits 4 pieces of toast at a time.
- Preheat your skillet over medium-low heat and melt in 2 Tbsp butter.
- Dip 4 pieces of bread into the egg mixture at a time and soak for 30-40 seconds per side. Remove bread slices from egg wash letting excess drip back into the dish then place the bread slices into the hot skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm at 275˚F. Repeat with the remaining toast, adding more butter as needed. Once all are sautéed, keep them in the oven for another 10-15 minutes for the custard center to fully set then serve warm.
