Honey Bear French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
• Cut the bread into 8 slices about 3/4-inch thick. Arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap). Bake, flipping them halfway through, until very lightly golden on both sides, about 12 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet until ready to use. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Vigorously whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended and no streaks of whites remain. Add the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg and whisk until completely incorporated. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Gently press 2 slices of the toasted bread into the custard. Turn to coat and then gently press down on the bread until you feel it start to soak up the custard-this is key for a luscious, moist texture. Let the bread soak for about 1 minute per side; it should feel heavy but still hold its shape and not fall apart.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2 of the soaked bread slices until they are a deep golden brown, the custard has set and the insides are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. The center of the bread will puff slightly while the crust will contract, making it look puckered. You may have to alternate between medium and medium-low heat if the bread browns too quickly or not fast enough. Transfer the slices to a rimmed baking sheet and hold in the warm oven. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
• Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the loaf of bread in half crosswise. Flip one of the halves cut side up, and cut out the middle of the loaf, leaving about a ¼-inch (6 mm) border around the edge. From the outside of the loaf, about ½ -1 inch (1-2 cm) up from the bottom of one of the 4 sides, make a cut straight through to remove the center of the loaf.
• Cut the center of the loaf in half and slice into approximately 1x3-inch (2x7-cm) cm sticks . Repeat with the second half of the loaf.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cinnamon, cream, and honey.
• Place the hollowed-out loaf on the prepared baking sheet and brush all over with the egg mixture.
• In a medium bowl, crush the cinnamon crunch cereal into coarse crumbs.
• Dip the sliced toast sticks in the egg mixture, then dredge in the crushed cereal. Add to the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
• To assemble, filling the toasted, hollowed loaves with French toast sticks and berries. Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
