French Toast
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2003

Ingredients
1 cup half-and-half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 (1/2-inch) slices day-old or stale country loaf, brioche or challah bread
4 tablespoons butter

Instructions
In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the
half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When
ready to cook, pour custard 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.
