The Secret to Perfect French Toast
Listen up, because this is where the magic happens!
The key to achieving French toast nirvana is all about the heat.
Start with low-medium heat and adjust as needed.
We’re aiming for golden-brown perfection, not a soggy-on-the-inside, burnt-on-the-outside disaster.
Also, don’t be afraid to get fancy with your bread choice.
Brioche is the crown jewel of French toast, but any thick, sturdy bread will do.
Texas toast is always a solid backup plan.
