Save time without the hassle of dipping individual pieces and frying on the stove top. Any kind of sandwich bread will work, and you can add any fruit or cream cheese. I used bananas because it's what I had on hand.

### Tips

Tips:

  • Use a day-old baguette or other crusty bread. This will help the bread to soak up the egg mixture and custard without becoming soggy.
  • Slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices. This will ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and spices together until well combined. Make sure that the eggs are completely whisked in, as any uncooked egg white will make the french toast tough.
  • Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture and become custard-like.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Make sure that the skillet is hot enough before adding the bread, or the bread will stick.
  • Cook the bread slices for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, or the bread will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the french toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
