Recipe Notes and Variations

• To avoid soggy or flat French toast, make sure your bread slices are nice and thick. Take care not to over-soak the bread in the egg mixture. Make sure the pan is appropriately hot before cooking the toasts. Gently flip each piece in the pan—no fancy air flipping!
• Try pulling out this recipe when you have stale bread (it happens to us all!). Not only will you be preventing food waste, your French toast will be crispier and less likely to get soggy.
