Tips:

  • Use a thick, sturdy bread for your French toast, such as brioche, challah, or French bread. This will help the bread hold up to the custard and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Make sure your custard is well-seasoned. Use a combination of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, to give your French toast a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your French toast. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Serve your French toast immediately after cooking. This is when it will be at its best, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
