The secret to amazing French toast is actually in the name. No, don’t worry, you don’t have to book a flight to Paris to pick up some pain (although, why not?!) All you need is a kitchen appliance that you’re probably already using daily. 

The ideal French toast is both crispy and custardy. Much like a good croissant, a slice of the breakfast food should be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It is this beautiful contrast that makes a piece of French toast, well, parfait.

The way to achieve this delicate balance is by making sure your bread is crisp to begin with. There are a couple of ways this can be done including drying out your bread overnight. But, luckily, there is a tool that will achieve it with just the push of a button. 

Before placing the bread in its eggy mixture, you want to actually toast it (see what we said about the name?) The aim is to make the piece dry and firm, but only slightly brown. Try doing it on the toaster’s lowest setting and even toast it twice if need be.

Once you’re done, make up the custard mixture using your eggs (we prefer sticking to just the yolks) and some brown sugar. Dip it in, place it on the pan, and sink your teeth into French toast that is perfectly crisp and soft.
