Ingredients

4 eggs
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup coffee room temperature
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
8 slices thick-cut bread
butter
whipped cream for serving
banana slices for serving
chopped hazelnuts for serving

Instructions

In a medium or large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, coffee, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
One slice at a time, soak the bread in the eggs for about 20 to 30 seconds per side. Set them aside on a plate or wire rack while repeating with remaining bread.
Place a heavy skillet on medium heat. Melt 2 to 3 teaspoons of butter in the pan and fry one or two pieces of the french toast until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Set cooked french toast aside in a warm oven or microwave while cooking the rest.
To serve, top the french toast with a dollop of whipped cream, sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkling of crushed hazelnuts.

Notes

A rich bread such as brioche or challah is best for this recipe, but use any of your favourite bread.
