  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Prepare a 9"x13" baking dish by coating the entire inside of the dish with butter or cooking spray.  Set aside.
  • Slice the French bread, about 1-inch thick. Arrange slices in your prepared baking dish in rows, overlapping the slices. Set aside.   
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure they are covered evenly. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices making sure all the slices are completely covered.  Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, carefully flip each piece of bread over to make sure everything is nice and coated with the mixture.
