Creating Crème Brûlée French Toast can be an enjoyable process when following these simple steps:

1. Prepare a Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Arrange the Bread: Layer the slices of bread in the prepared dish, overlapping them slightly.
3. Make the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Soak the Bread: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Use a spatula to gently press down the bread to absorb the mixture.
5. Cover and Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Bake: Remove the dish from the refrigerator and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Caramelize the Sugar: Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top of the baked French toast and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until bubbly and golden. (If you don’t have a torch, you can place it under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely).
9. Serve Immediately: Let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into squares.

These steps ensure that your Crème Brûlée French Toast comes out perfectly every time!
