Nutrition Facts : Nutritional Facts Serves

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better and results in a crispier French toast.
  • Soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes: This allows the bread to absorb the flavors and become more tender.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the French toast.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Overcrowding the skillet will prevent the French toast from cooking evenly.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often will break it up.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Crispy French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. By following the tips above, you can make perfect crispy French toast that your family and friends will love. Enjoy!
