Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for your French toast. A thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah will hold up well to the egg mixture and won't get soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking your French toast. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help it cook through without burning.
- Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make it less likely to cook through evenly.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Baked French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time.
