Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 lb loaf crusty sourdough bread, sliced into eight 1-inch thick slices
- butter, for cooking (clarified is ideal)
- maple syrup, for serving
- fresh fruit and berries, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Combine milk, cream, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, vanilla bean seeds (if using), cinnamon and salt in a wide, shallow container like a baking dish. Whisk until well blended.
- Place bread slices in egg mixture for about 45 seconds per side, until soaked but not falling apart. Use a slotted spatula or your fingers to carefully pick them up, let excess egg mixture drip off, and transfer to another baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
- Melt a small pat of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry slices, working two at a time, until golden brown, about 3- 4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3- 4 minutes, lowering heat as needed to prevent burning. Transfer to wire rack and keep warm in the oven.
- Repeat frying the bread, adding more butter to the pan and adjusting the heat with each batch. Serve warm with maple syrup and fruit.
