For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rum or orange liqueur to the custard. Using day-old bread is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. It prevents the French toast from becoming soggy. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook the French toast in batches to ensure even browning. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Once melted and shimmering, carefully place the soaked bread slices in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
