  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • Arrange the slices of bread in a pyrex dish (in a single layer) and pour the egg mixture on top. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the slices of bread and let them rest for another 10 minutes, absorbing all the liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 120º Celsius.
  • Place a rack over a baking sheet (if available). If not, grease the baking sheet.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • Fry half of the bread slices until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer the fried slices to a rack on a baking sheet.
  • Clean the skillet, and repeat step 7 with the remaining bread, oil, and butter.
  • Place the rest of the French toast on the baking sheet and put it in the oven for a few minutes until ready to serve.
  • Serve with warm maple syrup.
