Could toasting the bread make that much of a difference?
We also made a batch of our classic French toast using the more traditionalstale bread.

Others thought it was “too firm and too dry.”
They missed the custardy center and eggy texture.
In short, it all comes down to how you like your French toast.
If you love the crisp crust around the edges, this is the hack for you.
Stick to the classic recipe if you prefer a thick, custardy center.
@sobadashshared her recipe, which has 7.4 million views and 597,000 likes.
The custard mixture includes heavy cream,vanilla creamer, sugar, and honey.
She promises you won’t need syrup with this version.
One fan said, “Ditching my French toast recipe for this one.
Sorry, Ina Garten.”
“OMG have Fruity Pebbles, making this TOMORROW,” commented one person.
Sounds like a great idea!
