Ingredients

8 slices sourdough bread ½-inch thick slices, stale bread is preferred
6 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup evaporated milk sub with heavy cream
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons butter for frying

Instructions

Whisk together the eggs, whole milk, evaporated milk (or heavy cream), granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the egg mixture onto a baking sheet. This will allow enough room for all the bread slices to soak at once. Place the bread slices in the egg mixture and let them soak until each slice of bread is completely soaked. Flip the bread slices after the first 5 minutes to ensure the other side is completely soaked.
Heat a skillet on medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Add two slices of bread and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the rest of the soaked bread, adding about a tablespoon of butter each time before frying.
Serve with fresh berries and maple syrup or whipped cream.

Notes

If you have leftover custard, add more bread slices to make more French toast. You can save any leftover French toast to enjoy later.
To keep your leftover French toast fresh and tasty, transfer it to a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to enjoy it again, I recommend reheating it in the air fryer, toaster oven, or stovetop rather than using the microwave for best results.
If you use a cast iron skillet to make this recipe, be sure to regulate the heat to prevent the bread from burning, as cast iron skillets holds more heat than other skillets.
