Prep Time: 20 min(s)
Cook Time: 20 min(s)
Serves: 6
Difficulty: Beginner
Ethnicity: American
Tools:
large nonstick pan (12-inch)
measuring cups
measuring spoons
pie pan
sheet pan/jelly roll
small mixing bowl
spatula/turner
whisk
wire rack with tray (seasoning, cooling, resting)

Experiment with additions to the custard, such as vanilla, cinnamon, citrus and liquor. The toppings are limitless as well.
Ingredients:
4 eggs - slightly beaten
1 1/2 cup(s) half and half
1 tablespoon(s) honey - room temperature
1/4 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
6 slices bread - (pullman, challah, or brioche)
1/4 cup(s) butter - for sauteing the toast, divided

Steps:

-Make the custard by mixing the eggs, half and half, honey and salt; place in a dish large enough to accommodate the bread.

-Lay the slice of bread in the custard for 10 seconds on each side; soaking any longer will cause the bread to become soggy.

-Once the bread is covered in custard, lay it on a wire rack over a sheet pan; allow the excess custard to drip off.

-Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat, add enough butter to coat the pan and 2 slices of the prepared bread.

-Saute for approximately two minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining butter and other slices.

-Keep the toast warm in a 200 degrees oven while you are sauteing the others.
