Calories 181 kcal
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 bread slices thick cut
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons madagascar bourbon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat for several minutes.
In a small casserole dish large enough to hold two pieces of bread snuggly, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until smooth but not foamy.
Place two pieces of bread in the pan; let them soak for about 30 seconds, then turn them over, and let soak for about 30 seconds on the other side. You want the bread to absorb some of the liquid, but not to become soggy.
Place the bread in the skillet or on the griddle, and fry until both sides are golden brown; this should take about 2 minutes each side.
Transfer the French toast to the baking sheet, and place it in the preheated oven. Allow it to remain in the oven while you cook the remaining pieces.
When all the pieces are cooked, serve the French toast with soft butter and maple syrup. Or dust it with powdered sugar.
Storage
If you have leftover French toast that you want to store for later, there are a few different methods you can use depending on how long you want to keep it:
-
- In the Refrigerator: If you plan to eat the French toast within a day or two, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to let it cool to room temperature before storing, or it may get soggy. To reheat, simply pop it in the toaster or warm it in the oven for a few minutes.
-
- In the Freezer: If you want to store the French toast for longer, you can freeze it for up to a month. To do this, place the cooled French toast in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer the slices to a freezer-safe container or bag. When you're ready to eat, simply reheat in the toaster or oven.
-
- In the Fridge Overnight: If you're prepping French toast ahead of time for an easy breakfast the next day, you can store it in the fridge overnight. Just place the slices in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate. In the morning, you can reheat in the toaster or warm them up in the oven.
No matter which method you choose, be sure to keep the French toast in an airtight container or tightly wrapped to prevent it from drying out or absorbing any odors in the fridge or freezer.
