THE BEST FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
• Cut the bread into 8 slices about 3/4-inch thick. Arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap). Bake, flipping them halfway through, until very lightly golden on both sides, about 12 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet until ready to use. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Vigorously whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended and no streaks of whites remain. Add the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg and whisk until completely incorporated. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Gently press 2 slices of the toasted bread into the custard. Turn to coat and then gently press down on the bread until you feel it start to soak up the custard-this is key for a luscious, moist texture. Let the bread soak for about 1 minute per side; it should feel heavy but still hold its shape and not fall apart.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2 of the soaked bread slices until they are a deep golden brown, the custard has set and the insides are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. The center of the bread will puff slightly while the crust will contract, making it look puckered. You may have to alternate between medium and medium-low heat if the bread browns too quickly or not fast enough. Transfer the slices to a rimmed baking sheet and hold in the warm oven. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
• Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.

• In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted.
• In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

CORNBREAD/CORNBREAD-FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• FOR THE CORNBREAD:.
• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Sift the cornmeal, flours, and baking powder together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, salt, and 1/3 cup of the oil. Whisk the wet ingredients with the dry until well-incorporated.
• Add the remaining 2 tbsps of oil into a large skillet, being sure to coat well on all sides. Heat the skillet until smoking and add the batter. Spread so it covers each area of the pan equally. Transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven and bake at 325 until the cornbread is golden brown and solid (toothpick comes out clean in the center) about 25 minutes. Let cool before serving.
• FRENCH TOAST CORNBREAD:.
• Whisk the milk with the eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Coat a skillet with butter and set to a high heat. While the pan warms, place the cornbread slices into the egg/milk mixture and let soak (if the cornbread proves to be too thick, slice in half). Be sure to soak both sides. Once the pan is sufficiently heated; turn to a medium heat and place soaked cornbread slices into the hot pan.
• Check the face-down side of the french-toast, flipping once golden brown to cook the face-up side. Once cooked; serve with berries, confectioners sugar, butter, and maple syrup.
