Place a slice of bread on a cutting board.
-
3
Align a star-shaped cookie cutter in the center of the slice.

Push the cookie cutter through the bread, rocking it gently back and forth.
-
5
Once the cookie cutter makes it all the way through bread, remove bread outside the cutter.
-
6
Hold the cutter down on the bread during this step to prevent the star from tearing.
-
7
Use a sharp knife to trim any bread that lingers outside the cookie cutter.
-
8
Gently remove the star from the cutter and put aside.
-
9
Repeat on all slices of bread.

My Note: I was soo bored with the same old french toast.

Don't be scared by the amount of honey, I started out with only 1 tbsp and after the first slice quickly added the other tablespoons They were not too sweet at all.

I used light bread and half&half instead of heavy cream.
-
21
They came out great.
-
22
You have to cook them at a low heat because of all the honey or they will burn quickly.
-
23
Definitely a keeper in my book.

Our two grandsons are huge Batman fans so I used a bat-shaped cookie cutter instead of a star and they loved it!

For bread, this time I used a Bread Machine Bread from this site, it had just come out of the bread maker and worked out wonderfully for this recipe.

I don't know or if it's the difference in using heavy cream in place of milk as in traditional recipes, or the addition of honey, it just was a terrific recipe-unlike any I had ever had before.
