Instructions

Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat to ensure an even cooking surface for the French toast.
Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Soak Bread: Dip each slice of the thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated to absorb the custard thoroughly.
Melt Butter and Cook: Melt butter on the preheated griddle, then place the coated bread slices onto the hot surface to cook.
Griddle the Bread: Cook the bread slices for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown color and a crispy exterior.
Serve: Remove the French toast from the griddle and serve immediately with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast for best texture and flavor retention.
Adjust cinnamon and sugar amounts to taste for a sweeter or spicier custard.
Ensure the griddle is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before it’s cooked through.
Fresh berries can be substituted or complemented with sliced bananas or nuts for variety.
This recipe serves 3 but can be easily doubled or tripled for larger groups.
