Infused French Toast

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup half-and-half
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey, warmed in the 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 canna-butter (see #41cBlog for recipe)
• Infused maple syrup (see #41cBlog for recipe)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. 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 the custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375° 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.
3. Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch non-stick sauté 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.
