Cinnamon Raisin French Toast
Panera Bread Recipe
Serves 4
8 slices 1/2” thick Panera Bread Cinnamon Raisin Bread
4 tablespoon melted butter
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the French Toast custard, combine using a hand whisk the milk, heavy cream, eggs, honey, vanilla extract and the salt. This custard can be made well in advance. Give a brisk stir before making the toast.
Transfer the custard to a casserole or open shallow dish for dipping. Dip one slice into the custard and turn over after about 15 seconds. Transfer the slice to a plate while dipping another slice into the custard.
Place a large skillet on a medium fire. Allow the pan to heat thoroughly before pouring 1 Tablespoon of the melted butter into the pan. Place both slices carefully into the skillet and cook on each side until golden brown or about 2 minutes. Repeat until all the French toast is cooked. Serve warm with real maple syrup.
