Put bread slices in one layer inside a buttered 9×13 inch baking dish.
02 -
Combine eggs, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and stir well. Drizzle over bread so every slice gets wet. Wrap and stick in the fridge all night.

Eat while warm with whatever toppings you like.

Try adding maple syrup, fresh fruit chunks, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra yumminess.
