The Story
“The key to good French toast is thick bread — Texas toast or brioche works best because it's sturdy enough to soak up the egg mixture without falling apart. Thin sliced bread gets soggy and tears. Dip each slice and let it soak for a few seconds on each side so it's saturated but still holding together, then cook on a buttered griddle until golden. Simple, satisfying, and a great weekend breakfast.”
