Start Cooking

  • Cook the soaked bread 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Slightly stale bread works best because it absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming soggy.
  • Brioche and challah make especially rich, tender French toast, but French bread, Italian bread, sourdough, or sandwich bread all work well.
  • For a richer French-style version:
    Replace a few tablespoons of the milk with heavy cream for a more custardy texture. Let the bread soak for about 20–30 seconds before cooking.
 
Make it yours
  • Classic French: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries.
  • Maple Breakfast: Serve with maple syrup and butter.
  • Caramelized Banana: Top with sliced bananas sautéed in butter and brown sugar.
 
At the table
  • Serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. A cup of coffee or tea makes the perfect pairing.
