FAQ
Q: How thick should the toast be?
A: The toast should be thick enough to hold up to being dipped in the egg mixture and fried, but not so thick that it takes longer to cook than the egg mixture. A Texas Toast-style bread is ideal.
Q: What type of bread is best for French toast?
A: A bread with a higher egg content, such as brioche, challah, or French bread, is best for French toast. These types of bread will absorb the egg mixture better and create a richer flavor.
