Notes
expert tips
- This recipe is so simple the main thing to keep in mind is not to oversoak your bread with the custard mixture. Brioche is already delicate in texture and oversoaking will lead to soggy french toast.
- Have an oven heated to 200 degrees to keep the French toast warm.
- Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave but they are SO good when they are freshly made!
- You can buy pre-sliced bread for this recipe, I like a loaf so you can ensure that you can cut thick slices.
