Ingredients
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup half and half
2 Tbsp honey – warm
3 large eggs
4 Tbsp butter
8 stale country loaf
Method
In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt.
When ready to cook, pour mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan.
Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes.
Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
