List of Ingredients



• 3 eggs
  
• 6 Tbsp half-and-half
  
• 1 Tbsp sugar
  
• 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  
• Four ¾-inch-thick slices soft-crusted French bread or egg bread
  
• 2 Tbsp (¼ stick) butter
  
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
  
• Warm maple syrup (optional)
  






Instructions



1. Beat eggs, half-and-half, sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and vanilla extract in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish to blend. Add bread and turn to coat. Cover and chill until bread absorbs egg mixture, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
   
   
2. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bread and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plates.
   
   
3. Combine powdered sugar with remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sift over toast. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
