In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. You may do this the night before.
When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a large shallow bowl and set aside. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds. Over medium-low heat, spray with cooking spray, or melt 1 tablespoon of butter, in a 10-inch iron skillet or nonstick saute pan.
Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove from pan and place on rack and place in oven. Repeat with all slices. Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
For a quick breakfast later, put the baked pieces on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer. After frozen, place French Toast in a freezer bag and return to the freezer until ready to serve.
When you're ready to serve, preheat your oven to 500 degrees, and place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for about 5 minutes or until done.
