Rustic French Toast

I have to give credit to good old AB for this recipe! It is so scrumptious, but I don't make it often, because it's not very healthy! I made it today for lunch and the girls didn't leave any for me! :) 
8 dried out pieces of crusty bread (I buy a loaf in the bakery section when I go grocery shopping, and let it sit in its paper bag for a week before I make this, but trust me, it has got to be dry!) **you can use regular bread and leave it sit out overnight.**
1 cup cream
3 eggs
2 tbsp honey (warmed in the microwave)
a pinch of salt 
mix ingredients (except bread) you can use right away, or make the night before and let it set in the fridge overnight and become more custardy. Start heating a pan to med. heat, and let about 1-2 tbsp butter slowly melt in the the pan. (this is important, otherwise the butter will burn!) meanwhile, soak the first batch of bread one at a time in the mix (each piece gets 20-30 seconds) cook until brown and crispy on the outside. I lower the heat and slowly melt a tiny bit more butter before cooking the second batch. 
Top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of warm syrup. I like mine with vanilla yogurt and berries.
