  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will soak up the egg mixture better and create a more custardy texture.
  • Cut the bread into thick slices: This will prevent the bread from turning to mush.
  • Soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes: This will give the bread time to absorb the flavors.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, and whipped cream are all great additions to French toast bake.
  • Bake the French toast bake until it is golden brown and puffed up: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and the topping is caramelized.

Conclusion

French toast bake is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Follow these tips to make the perfect French toast bake every time.
