minutesIt’s easier than you think to make cafe-quality French Toast at home – you just need a pan, a few staple ingredients, and a good recipe! The best breads for French toast are brioche, sourdough, raisin bread and French bread . These are denser and sturdy enough to handle total saturation in the egg custard without falling apart. Any thick-sliced white bread will do and day-old bread works best because it absorbs the eggy mixture better than fresh slices…
