Steps:
- Make the walnut streusel: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated and brown sugars, salt, and cinnamon. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork until crumbly. Add the chopped walnuts and mix well.
- Spread the streusel on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then crumble and let cool completely before using. The streusel will keep in an airtight container for 1 week.
- Make the French toast: In a large baking dish, beat the eggs, then add the milk, cream, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and whisk well to combine.
- Add the bread in a single layer and press down gently into the custard. Let soak for 5 minutes, then flip and soak for another 10 minutes.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, carefully transfer 2 slices of bread from the custard to the pan and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and soaked bread.
- Top the French toast with the walnut streusel and maple syrup.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
- Working in batches, dip each slice of challah in the custard, letting soak for 20-60 seconds on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
- Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked challah on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
- Serve the French toast with a pat of butter, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of flaky salt, and berries.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Arrange the bread on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and bake until slightly dry, about 15 minutes.
- While the bread is in the oven, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and whisk it with the milk, egg, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a shallow dish large enough to hold 2 slices of bread.
- Transfer 2 pieces of the bread from the oven into the batter and soak both sides, about 30 seconds per side.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 more tablespoon of the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until beginning to brown, swirling to coat the pan.
- Remove the bread from the batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into the dish, and lay it in the hot skillet.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Adjust heat to prevent from browning too quickly.
- Transfer the French toast to the wire rack and keep warm in the oven.
- Repeat with the remaining butter, bread, and batter.

Tips:
- Use stale bread for French toast. This will help the bread absorb the egg mixture more easily and result in a crispier crust.
- Use a variety of breads for different flavors and textures. Brioche, challah, and sourdough all make great French toast.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking French toast. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly.
- Cook French toast over medium heat. This will help prevent the bread from burning.
- Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make the bread tough.
- Serve French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, and whipped cream.
Conclusion:
French toast is a classic breakfast dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that will start your day off right.
