Preparation Steps

• Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. If necessary, overlap them slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are saturated. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the French toast is puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
