CUSTARDY FRENCH TOAST
This is the only way that my family has been making, and eating, French Toast since I was a wee girl. The slices turn out wonderfully "eggy" tasting; just like the best of bread pudding. We would make it one of two ways: either dip and fry or overnight and bake. Each way has it's own merits, so I continue to make them with both versions, depending upon the time I have each weekend. Although we used only cinnamon-raisin bread as a child, I've used wheat, white, artisan and sourdough breads as an adult...but I always return to the original cinnamon-raisin bread as my hands down favourite.

Steps:
- Directions for immediate French Toast: Yield 8 slices.
- Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt, extracts and cinnamon in a large bowl with a spout. Beat only until well-combined but not excessively frothy.
- Strain the egg mixture into an 8" x 8" pan to dip the bread into. Straining the mixture removes any egg whites not incorporated into the custard.
- Heat butter in a skillet large enough to handle four slices of bread. When butter begins to sizzle, lay all four slices of bread in the pan. Allow to soak for 10 seconds, flip over the slices, and continue to turn the slices onto each side until you can feel the weight increase but the bread still holds it's shape.
- Lay each slice into the hot pan and cook on each side at least 4 minutes before turning, so the egg custard sets up in the bread and doesn't tear when turned.
- Flip over to the other side when first side is golden brown. Serve immediately with maple syrup, honey, powdered sugar or preserves. Repeat with additional four slices.
- Directions for Over-Night French Toast:.
- Arrange the 6-8 bread slices in a 9" x 13" pan, or use 4 slices in an 8" x 8" pan, using 1/2 of the custard for the next day. Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt, extract and cinnamon in a bowl with a spout. Beat only until combined, not until it's frothy.
- Using a strainer, strain the custard mixture over the sliced bread; turn once, to make sure that the bread is well coated. Cover, refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the bread is puffed up and slightly golden brown. Cut into slices and serve with topping of your choice.

Steps:
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- For the casserole: Trim the ends from 1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound) and cut into ten 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally to make two triangles from each piece. (If the bread is fresh, dry it out a bit. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.)
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended. Dip each triangle of bread in the custard, lightly coating each side. Shingle the pieces in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
- Pour any remaining custard over the bread slices. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let rest 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before baking. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the casserole is golden and puffed and the custard is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
- For the topping: bring the butter, sugar and syrup to a boil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the mixture is begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt, and the walnuts, stirring to coat. Turn off the heat and add the sliced bananas, stirring to coat evenly. Spoon the desired amount of the banana-syrup mixture over the casserole and serve any additional on the side.

CHEF JOHN'S FRENCH TOAST
So you think you know how to make French toast? Maybe you beat a couple eggs, a splash of milk, a quick dip, fry it up in some butter, and drizzle with a little syrup? Sounds pretty good, and for 95% of the world that is what they consider French toast. But if you want truly amazing French toast, give this classic restaurant method a try.

DINER-STYLE FRENCH TOAST
Diner cooks know three things about French toast: 1. Thick-cut challah is crucial. 2. Cinnamon and vanilla shouldn't be skimped on. 3. Syrup is welcome-but if you do it right, a dusting of powdered sugar is all you really need.

I have learned to take simple French toast to new heights. By just experimenting with different ingredients, I was able to create a fabulous custard & cinnamon French toast.
