Instructions

Preheat your Blackstone griddle: Set to medium heat and allow it to come to temp. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Make the custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Dip the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture for a few seconds per side, allowing it to soak without becoming soggy.
Griddle the toast: Place dipped bread onto the hot, greased griddle. Cook for 2–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Remove from griddle and serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

For best results, use slightly stale or day-old bread so it holds up to the custard.
Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven (200°F) while finishing the batch.

Great for batch cooking—make extra and freeze slices for easy breakfasts later.
