- Use Day-Old Bread: Slightly stale bread is ideal for French toast because it absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming too mushy. Brioche or challah bread is particularly delicious and holds up well during cooking.
- Don’t Soak Too Long: Make sure the bread absorbs enough egg mixture to be flavorful, but don’t let it sit too long in the mixture or it will become soggy.
- Cook on Medium Heat: Avoid high heat, which can cause the outside to burn before the inside is fully cooked. Medium heat ensures even browning and a perfectly cooked interior.
- Experiment with Spices: In addition to cinnamon, you can add nutmeg, cardamom, or even a bit of orange zest to the egg mixture for a unique twist on traditional French toast.
