• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half

Prepare the Custard Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

Arrange & Soak the Bread:

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and arrange French bread slices in a single layer.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is well-coated.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).

Make the Buttery Caramel Topping:

Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
Drizzle over the soaked bread before baking.

Bake to Perfection:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the French toast until golden brown and puffed.
