Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 8 slices of thick-cut brioche or challah bread
• Butter, for grilling
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Fresh berries, for garnish
• Powdered sugar, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Custard Mixture:

   1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.  If you want more of an "omelet" taste, add one or two more eggs.
   2. If you do not have vanilla extract, use some vanilla coffee creamer.
   3. For an extra smooth texture, pour the batter through a strainer before using it.  This will removes all lumps, etc. and result in a silky smooth texture.

2. Preheat the Arteflame Grill:

   1. Preheat the Arteflame grill. Ensure the grill surface is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

3. Dip the Bread Slices:

   1. Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is well-coated but not overly saturated.

4. Grill the French Toast:

   1. Place a generous amount of butter on the grill surface and allow it to melt and sizzle.
   2. Carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the French toast is golden brown and slightly crispy.
   3. Add more butter as needed while grilling to enhance the flavor and prevent sticking.

5. Serve:

   1. Transfer the grilled French toast to a serving platter.
   2. Drizzle with maple syrup.
   3. Garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips:

• Use thick-cut brioche or challah bread for the best results. These types of bread absorb the custard well and maintain their structure when grilled.
• The flat cooktop is perfect for cooking the French toast evenly without burning the outside.
• For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of orange juice or a pinch of nutmeg to the custard mixture.
