Tips:

- Use a good quality bread for the French toast. Brioche or challah bread works well. - Slice the bread thickly, about 1 inch thick. This will help to prevent the bread from getting soggy. - Make sure the custard mixture is well-coated and absorbed into the bread. This will help to ensure that the French toast is cooked evenly. - Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning. - Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Fresh berries, whipped cream, and maple syrup are all great options.
