Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Thicker slices of bread, such as French bread or challah, hold up better to the custard mixture and won't get soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the French toast in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the bread cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the French toast from sticking and tearing.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: Medium heat will help the French toast cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often can cause it to break apart. Flip it only once, when the bottom is golden brown.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep it warm, place it in a low oven (200°F) until ready to serve.
