HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. To make the French Toast, first whisk together the eggs, sugar, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined.
2. Pour into a shallow bowl that is large enough to dip a slice of bread into. Soak the slices of bread in the mixture, roughly 20-30 seconds per side.
3. Next, melt the butter in a skillet pan over medium-low heat, and gently swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
4. Sprinkle some of the sugar over the butter (optional), being careful not to burn it.
5. As soon as the sugar is added, place up to however many slices of bread fit in the pan and cook on both sides until golden brown.
6. Clean the pan carefully and repeat the process, melting more butter and adding more sugar if desired.
7. Serve the French Toast immediately with your favourite toppings like butter, maple syrup, jam, sour cream, powdered sugar, and fruit.
8. Make sure to spend some extra time crafting the presentation of your delicious toast for an added touch!
