Equipment
- Skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 slices country loaf
- 3 tsp Pure Honey
- 2 eggs
- 6 tsp Melted Butter
- Salt to taste
- 8 tsbp half-and-half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt until combined; set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt. Dip 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides; place in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to an oven-safe plate and keep warm while you finish cooking the rest of the French toast.
- Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use day-old or stale bread for the best results. This will help prevent your French toast from becoming soggy.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the egg mixture.
- For a crunchy texture, sprinkle some ground cinnamon and nutmeg onto each slice of bread before dipping it into the egg mixture.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat bread or other lower-calorie options.
