Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can make a vegan version by replacing the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed mixture (1 tablespoon of seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg). Use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk, and opt for a plant-based butter substitute.
How can I prevent the bread from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, quickly dip the bread in the egg mixture, ensuring it's just coated but not saturated. Using slightly stale bread helps as it absorbs less moisture. Cooking the toast on medium-high heat allows it to crisp up nicely without becoming too soft.
What type of bread works best for French toast?
Thicker slices of bread such as challah, brioche, or Texas toast work best for French toast because they hold up well during cooking and absorb the egg mixture without falling apart. Whole grain bread can also be used for a healthier option.
