Question 1

What is the best bread for French toast?

Accepted Answer

Brioche, challah, or thick-cut Texas toast work best. Slightly stale (day-old) bread absorbs custard without falling apart. Aim for 3/4–1-inch slices; sourdough is great if you want a sturdier, tangy option.

Question 2

How do I keep French toast from getting soggy?

Accepted Answer

Use sturdy, day-old bread; dip briefly rather than soaking; let excess custard drip off. Cook on medium heat in butter or oil until both sides are deeply golden. For extra crispness, finish slices on a wire rack in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes.

Question 3

Can I make French toast without dairy or eggs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For dairy-free, use unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk. For vegan, replace eggs with a mixture like 1 tbsp cornstarch or chickpea flour per 1/4 cup plant milk, or a flax “egg” (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) per egg. Texture will differ slightly from classic versions.

Question 4

How do I know when French toast is cooked through?

Accepted Answer

It should be golden-brown on both sides with no wet custard seeping out. If using a thermometer, the center should reach 160°F (71°C), which indicates the egg custard is set.

Question 5

How do I store and reheat French toast?

Accepted Answer

Cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3–4 days, or freeze slices (separated by parchment) for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven, toaster, or skillet until hot and crisp; avoid microwaving if you want a crisp exterior.
