For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of orange zest or a dash of nutmeg to the egg mixture. If you don't have brioche or challah, any sturdy bread will work well. Avoid using thin or overly soft bread, as it may become soggy. To keep the French toast warm while you cook the second slice, place the first slice in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C). Experiment with different toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Consider using clarified butter or ghee instead of olive oil for a richer flavor and higher smoke point.

Jun 7, 2025I accidentally let the bread soak a little too long, but it was still delicious! Just a little extra custardy.
