- Use slightly stale bread for French toast. This will help the bread absorb the egg mixture more evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Make sure the butter is melted and the pan is hot before adding the French toast. This will help the French toast cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help the French toast cook through without burning.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include maple syrup, butter, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and whipped cream.
