Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for your French toast. A thick, sturdy bread will hold up better to the cooking process and will give you a more satisfying result.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your French toast. This will cause the bread to steam instead of fry, and it will result in soggy French toast.
- Cook your French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning and will give you evenly cooked French toast.
- Don't flip your French toast too often. This will break up the bread and make it difficult to cook evenly.
- Serve your French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. This could include butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
