Expert Tips

• Sourdough Bread – French toast is best when made with Sourdough bread. It is thick and the slight tang of sourdough makes this the bread option. This helps to keep the bread from getting soggy.
• Dipping Bread – You want to dip the bread in quick but making sure it is coated in the egg mixture. This allows for the bread to cook with a delicious texture.
• Heat Skillet – Make sure to heat the skillet before placing the bread in the skillet. It is also important to grease the pan. We grease with butter for best results.
