French Toast from Alton Brown image

Alton Brown had a great episode on toast, and part of it featured French Toast*. This is our favorite french toast! For a healthier alternative, replace some of the butter with olive oil. You could also use whole milk in place of the half-and-half, though Alton would not approve. *http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/french-toast-recipe/index.html

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup half-and-half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds

8 slices bread (1/2 inch, day-old country loaf, brioche or challah)

  • 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 in oven on rack for 5 minutes.
  • Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
