French toast is a breakfast classic for good reason and using a rich bread such as brioche or challah makes this variation even more irresistible. Drizzle with honey instead of maple syrup, if you like.

Preheat oven to 200°F.


In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
