Preparation

Step 1

Put the bread slices in a 9x13 baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, heavy cream and vanilla. Pour over the bread and let set for 1 hour. Turn the slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, turn the bread once again and sprinkle with cinnamon. Let stand 15 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the French toast, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes, until the toast feels firm to the touch and no egg mixture appears around the edges. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
