Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for the best French toast. Stale bread will soak up the custard better and result in a more flavorful and sturdy slice of French toast.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will prevent the slices from cooking evenly and may cause them to become soggy.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help the bread to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make the bread break apart.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Strawberry hazelnut French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With its sweet and nutty flavor, this French toast is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give strawberry hazelnut French toast a try!
