French Toast with Raspberries

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp of honey
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• 4 1-inch slices of French bread
• Butter

Preparation Steps

1. You can leave your bread out to dry overnight for eight hours if you'd like. However, this recipe works just fine with fresh bread provided it's sliced thick enough.

2-Begin by whisking together the cream, eggs, honey, spices, and salt. Gently blend them all together, making sure not to over whisk.

3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. While that's heating, pour your custard mixture into a large shallow dish, like a casserole dish.

4. Turn a burner on to medium-low heat and begin to melt the butter

5. Soak each slice of bread in the mixture for thirty seconds on either side and even longer for stale bread. (You want a mushy texture, but not falling-apart mushy).

6. Now add the bread to the heated skillet with the butter and brown each piece for 2-3 minutes on both sides until golden. Once they've been browned, flip the slices back to their original side and put the whole skillet in the oven. Heat through for 5 to 6 minutes.

7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about a minute. Top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, raspberries, and fresh whipped cream. (An optional fruit sauce can be made with crushed berries, honey, sugar, and cream cheese.) Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
