TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST FRENCH TOAST
- Choose the Right Bread : opt for thick-cut bread like brioche, challah, or French bread for the best texture. Slightly stale bread works even better as it absorbs the custard without becoming soggy.
- Don’t Over-Soak: Dip the bread into the custard mixture briefly, ensuring it’s coated but not drenched, to avoid a soggy center.
- Use Medium Heat: Cook on medium heat to allow the bread to cook through evenly while achieving a golden-brown crust without burning.
- Butter is Key: Use butter (or a mix of butter and oil) for frying. It adds richness and helps achieve a beautifully caramelized exterior.
- Preheat Your Pan: Make sure the pan is hot before adding the French toast. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking.
- Don’t Crowd the Pan: Cook the slices in batches to avoid steaming them. This ensures a crisp, golden crust.
