Soft & Custardy French Toast

A French toast so soft and moist it's almost like a soufflé pancake. The secret to the custardy texture is soaking the bread thoroughly in milk first, then coating it in egg. Fry it in butter over medium-low heat until golden — crisp outside, tender inside. Add fruit and sausage for a hearty brunch.

Tips

Cover the pan and cook on low heat so the inside turns out fluffy all the way through. Maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar pairs beautifully.
