Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, resulting in a more custard-like French toast.
  • Slice the bread thickly: This will prevent the French toast from becoming too soggy.
  • Use a shallow dish for dipping the bread: This will help to prevent the bread from soaking up too much egg mixture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the French toast in batches to prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often will make it tough.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

This blueberry French toast recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
