Equipment

1 Crockpot
1 Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Unsalted butter for greasing the slow cooker
1 1/2 loaves country white bread
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup for topping
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Grease the inside of the slow cooker generously with butter to prevent sticking.
Unsalted butter
Cut the country white bread into cubes or slices, depending on preference.
1 1/2 loaves country white bread
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together until well blended.
6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup for topping, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
Add the cubed or sliced bread to the egg mixture. Gently toss, and stir to ensure all the bread pieces are coated with the mixture. Set the bowl aside to sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the buttered slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.
Set the slow cooker to the "low" heat setting. Cover, and cook for approximately 2 hours. Cooking times may vary slightly based on the slow cooker model, so check after 1.5 hours to ensure the French toast is cooking evenly.
Once the French toast is cooked and set, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the top.
Cover the slow cooker again, and let it sit for an additional 15-30 minutes. This will allow the brown sugar to melt and form a sweet, caramelized topping.
After the sugar has melted, carefully spoon out the slow cooker French toast onto serving plates. Add toppings of choice such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup. Enjoy warm!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Note: The cooking time and results may vary based on the type and model of the slow cooker being used. It's a good idea to monitor the French toast as it cooks to ensure it doesn't overcook or become too mushy.
