We have a newly evolving family tradition on Saturday mornings that involves this amazing French toast! It happened out of the blue - a few months ago when I woke up and decided I was going to make French toast for the hubby and the rest was history - he has literally asked for it just about every Saturday since, (to the point where he reminds me to get the bread during the week.) It is that yummy!
Part of fun of this tradition involves having multiple toppings available - maple syrup, nutella, biscoff, bananas, berries, pineapple, pecans, (or your favorite nuts), coconut, whipped cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, whatever you like! Your fam can build their own perfect masterpiece! (My hubby loves bananas, pecans and maple syrup.)
This french toast is nice and crispy on the outside and custardy, (that's actually not really a word but I'm using it anyway), on the inside. You will want bread that is sliced at least an inch thick so that it doesn't dissolve in the custard mixture when you dunk it. We love the presliced Texas toast style bread which works great, or you can take a nice loaf of hearty bread and slice it about an inch thick.
This breakfast takes just a few minutes to throw together, but you are going to love the time you get at the table with everyone. If you don't have a griddle, you can totally cook this in a buttered skillet or frying pan on the stove, but I love the griddle because I can do 8 slices at one time and the whole fam, (including the chef), can sit and eat together. This recipe makes 8 thick slices of French Toast!
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
