French Toast

KATHARINE HAYNIE

8 slices Texas toast
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon oil


In a large bowl combine eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, honey and salt. Mix well. Put the oil and butter in a medium sized skillet and set the heat to medium high. Dip a slice of the Texas toast in the egg mixture and allow to soak on both sides for about one minute. Cook toast on the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining slices of toast. Keep toast warm on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°. Add your favorite toppings.
