Instructions
- Add the melted butter to a 9x13 inch dish, and spread evenly over the bottom. Layer in the bread. It’s fine if the pieces overlap slightly, but try not to let them cover each other up too much.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture over the bread, making sure it’s evenly saturated. Cover with foil, and put in the fridge to rest overnight.
- Shortly before baking, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Uncover the French toast, and top with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the French toast is lightly toasted and fully cooked. Serve immediately with powdered sugar, fresh berries, maple syrup, etc.
