Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 12 oz. loaf challah or brioche, cut into 8 slices
• Softened butter
• Warm maple syrup
• Fruity Breakfast Sausage Skewers (see recipe)

Directions

1. Prepare a grill for indirect heat.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until blended. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add 4 pieces of bread and let soak 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread.

3. Clean the grill grate well. Generously grease the grate. Working in two batches, place 4 pieces of soaked bread on the hot side of the grill, watching carefully to prevent burning and cook until just slightly charred, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to the unlit side of the grill, cover and cook until the center is cooked and the bread is firm when touched, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Serve with the butter, syrup and Fruity Breakfast Sausage Skewers.
