Twice Cooked French Toast

I hate eating breakfast at breakfast time. After a late night of gaming, getting up early is the LAST thing on my mind. Trouble is that I like breakfast food. Pancakes, french toast, biscuits...I love them all. So here is what I had for lunch today.

I really like this recipe. It has a crunchy crust with a custurd-like interior. It's like eating bread pudding though not as sweet.

Twice cooked french toast.

• 1 cup half-and-half with a splash of heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ( I used fresh ground)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
• A loaf of crusty bread (E.g. - french, italian, challah, brioche)

Slice the bread into 1/2in slices and allow to dry for a minimum of 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 375°F

Whisk together cream, eggs, honey, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl. At this point put the mixture in a disposable pie pan. Soak each side of the bread for 30 seconds and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes.

Heat a skillet to medium high heat, with a nice size pat of butter then put a nice golden, brown, and delicious crust; warm all the way though. Place on a wire rack to bake the toast for 5 minutes.

Then butter, maple syrup, and devour.
