Tips:
- Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, resulting in a crispier and more flavorful French toast.
- Slice the bread evenly: This ensures that the French toast cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the French toast will not cook evenly.
- Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will prevent the French toast from sticking.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat: This will help to prevent the French toast from burning.
- Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often will make it tough.
- Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh.
